Critical reception
Dave Sholin from the
Gavin Report said, "The master is still at it. One of his best efforts in a long time should do well at
Top 40 ,
urban and
A/C ."
[2] The magazine's Fell and Rufer wrote, "This sounds like the beginning of a Wonder-full year as this is just the tip of a musical iceberg called Conversation Peace ".
[3]
Dele Fadele from
NME viewed it as "a standard love song raised slightly above blandness by its intensity, and no relation to the
Yardbirds tune."
[4] In a separate review, he said it "dripped with a kind of treacly blandness only an expensive air-conditioned studio could provide."

Music video
The song's accompanying music video was directed by American film director
Antoine Fuqua and produced by
Propaganda Films in Los Angeles.
