Critical reception

[edit]

Alex Gallagher from NME said "The anthemic house cut is anchored by Dunn's soaring vocals, which float above hypnotic beats and deep bass."[4] Brian Bonavoglia from DJ Times called the song "a sultry dancefloor filler with pop sensibilities" and "an infectious house hit ready to rock club systems or dominate the radio airwaves."[5]
