Critical reception

Steve Baltin from Cash Box noted, "Coming out while the latter is still locked into the top 10 ensures a high amount of interest for Brownstone's latest single. A bit more sultry than before, Brownstone show they can play the game at night with the grinding deep voice effort. Another hit." [1] Chuck Campbell from Knoxville News Sentinel remarked the "atmospheric emotion" on the track. [2]
