Reception
editReviewing the song for Record Mirror, Mark Total wrote "A classic 12" slice of sophisticated funk that I'm proud to say is totally BRITISH. It is as original as it is danceable with an acoustic guitar adding extra texture to a solid bass and drum part. David Grant doesn't attempt to Americanise his voice but just sings soulfully".[3]
