Critical reception

Craig Lytle from AllMusic described the song as "a midtempo number with an alluring chorus melody enhanced by a brisk string arrangement."[3] Larry Flick from Billboard magazine wrote, "Here's yet another gem from CeCe's sparkling, unstoppable debut album, Finally. A sultry, swing beat is first refashioned with raw hip-hop beats, then transformed into a spirited house romp. All the while, CeCe belts with an assurance reminiscent of Teena Marie." He added that the right edit "could reignite pop and urban radio fires."[2] Randy Clark from Cashbox said it's "a sexy, easy groovin', mid-tempo dance track with almost as many lives as a cat".[4]
