Critical reception

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "The ex-Eastender is neighbouring on the works of other soap-turned-pop stars. A pop reggae tune like Sean's here should have an across-the-board appeal from Coronation to High Street." [2] Jordan Paramor from Smash Hits gave the song a score of three out of five, writing, "This has got a pleasant reggae feel, and some nice lyrics, and Sean sings it nicely, but it still doesn't grab you, it's just kind of, well, nice." [3]
