Critical response

My Fizzy Pop commented "He takes you on a dark, seductive journey that unveils a hitherto hidden side of Sean - his ability to take on a character to bring a frisson of dangerous excitement into his lyrical, melodic tale".[2]

Jonathan Currinn wrote on Celebmix "The song is more of an emotional ballad – a side we haven't heard from Sean Smith just yet. "Fire" really exposes his vocals and his ability to flood the lyrics with emotions; and, that is exactly what he does. This song clearly means a lot to this male artist, and he has truly connected with the lyrics".[3]

Bill C's Music Blog quoted "It starts off quiet and mysterious and lingers a bit before making its point. Sean's diverse vocal makes a fine song even that much better".[4]
