Critical reception
Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report wrote, "Coming to the end of the road for ballads (at least until this track peaks), Motown's most successful and exciting act in decades turns up the heat. Slow jammin' or slammin' it, the Boyz's sound is hard to top."[3] Gill Whyte from Smash Hits gave it four out of five, adding, "It's another yo-ho gospel number with bottom-wobbling harmonies, obligatory hand-clapping and big vocals stretched to their emotional limit from the Boyz-with-matching-shirts-done-up-to-their-fat-necks. This one, quelle surprise, is a homage to the woman in his life. [...] Still, it's pretty darned funky with lots of fance, jazzy twiddly bits, and this is the moog flava mix, so you can bet your hymn book that means it's damned cool. Er, and it is!"[4]
