Critical reception

Craig Lytle from AllMusic stated that here, Peniston "tenderly caresses the grieving lyric of the percolating ballad".[1] Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "After a trio of kinetic club-friendly dance hits, A&M wisely brings forth a mournful, '70s-styled soul ballad that confirms what a growing legion of programmers and consumers already know: Peniston has the voice and charisma to establish a lengthy career as a pop diva."[2] Another editor described the song as a "pensive R&B ballad".[3] John Martinucci from the Gavin Report commented, "Ce Ce slows everything down on her fourth release for urban radio. By eliminating the sometimes distracting high energy production, Ce Ce's beautiful voice gets an opportunity to be showcased on this slow jam."[4]
