Reception
Cash Box said "Australia's Air Supply leaps back onto the charts with the title track from its forthcoming follow-up LP. A grandoise, string-laden number, with Graham Russell's [sic] unmistakable vocals, this recaptures the urgent romanticism of 'Lost in Love' and 'All Out Of Love' with plaintive backup vocals."[2] Record World described it as a "loving ballad that can't miss."[3]
