Larry Flick from "Billboard" wrote that "here's what will likely be the third successful single from the Euro-dance act's massive album, ""Aquarium"". It is, by far, the most credible pop offering from the set, with its shuffling faux-funk beat and sax lines. Everything about this track is surprisingly reserved-including the lead vocals, which are dramatically toned down from a kewpie-doll squeak to a quasi-soulful belt." CantStopThePop declared it to be "their finest song by a country mile – and one of the best pop ballads of the ‘90s to boot." They also added it as "one of the biggest surprises of the ‘90s." Alex Young from "Consequence of Sound" said that the "slower paced song allows Lene's vocal range to shine."
