Critical reception

[edit]

Jose F. Promis of AllMusic noted the song as an example of when Keith Sweat "began to utilize female background vocals" "to full effect" on the Get Up on It album, and considered it one of the album's "shining moments".[1] Ralph Tee from the Record Mirror Dance Update named it "the most smouldering, midpaced urban ballad of them all right now" and a "grinding big beat driven monster". He added, "While Keith's rather unique nasal whine and his female accompanists hit the spot vocally, the mood is enhanced by the most intense and sultry keyboards and programmed effects, all topped off by a thunderously deep and dark bass line. Massive!"[2]
