Larry Flick from "Billboard" complimented Turner's "distinctive and worldly vocal delivery". He also noted that she makes her Virgin debut "with a shuffling pop/dance ditty that stylistically lands somewhere between" her comeback hit, "Let's Stay Together", and Amy Grant's "Baby Baby". The Daily Vault called it "cinematic epic", stating that it "shows Turner capable of riding today's wave effortlessly without losing herself in it". Alan Jones from "Music Week" viewed it as "a soulful shuffle", that "benefits from rich arrangements and one  of Turner's more restrained, though distinctive, vocals." A reviewer from "People Magazine" described it as an "ardent ballad", that prove that the singer "has mellowed". James Hunter from "Vibe" wrote that "when Turner tears up her voice at the top of the bridge, it's as involving as soulful pop music gets." He added, "This is one of the best records of her career."
