Critical reception

[edit]

Pan-European magazine Music & Media praised the song as "great" and "mellow", and compared it to the work of American rapper LL Cool J. The reviewer added, "Female vocals take over the chorus to add a little extra variety. A great EHR candidate, but mellow enough for ACE [Adult Contemporary Europe] too."[1]
