Eberhard Dobler, writing for laut.de, found that on "Just One Last Dance" Connor's "velvety, sometimes lasciviously roughened voice [...] indulges in the kitschy side of soul pop."[2] CDStarts critic Matthias Reichel called "Just One Last Dance" a "mix of "From Sarah with Love" and "Skin on Skin"."[3]
