Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard described the song as a "plush ballad". He wrote that Carroll's "rich and appealing alto is cushioned by soft keyboard lines and warm backing harmonies."[2] Pop Rescue said that Carroll's vocals "are so rich and warm whilst it gently plods along, but you can just tell that she’s building up to something wonderful in the chorus – and her vocals really don’t let you down."[3]
