Critical reception

Jon O'Brien from AllMusic noted that Tina Cousins "lends her sultry vocals" to the "gorgeous chillout" song.^[2] Pop Rescue commented, "...this sees the return of SASH!'s former collaborator, the brilliant Tina Cousins. This song is unlike anything else so far on this album – it's a pop ballad. Tina's vocals are beautiful, and she's surrounded by minimal bleeping and bubbling synths, and some synth strings. She's given loads of space to show off her rich vocals."^[3]
