Critical reception

Jerry Smith, reviewer of British music newspaper Music Week , called this track a "memorable slice of smooth rock/pop... marked by another stunning vocal" equal to band's previous hit "I Don't Want a Lover" and expressed an assurance that it will "bring more success". [2] Edem E. Ephraim and Dennis Fuller of London Boys, being host reviewers of singles column of Number One on 26 April 1989, considered that the song's sound more oriented to the American market, but both singers noticed that it has something.
