Critical reception
James Hunter of Vibe wrote that the song "begins with sweet gospel colors and relies on a bracing wash of vocal harmonies. But it's the rhythmic flow—the quickness of the voices against the bass lines—that turn the piece into serious funk-soul."[1] Cheo Hodari Coker of Rolling Stone considered it one of the "centerpiece efforts" from Brown Sugar, which "prove that there is some mettle behind D'Angelo's retrograde stylistics."[3] Ann Powers of Spin commented that the song evokes the "exquisite tension of early Prince and late Marvin Gaye."[2]
