Critical reception
editPaul Simper from Number One declared the song as "a very respectable single. Nice, but nicer than nice, to be honest."[2] William Shaw from Smash Hits complimented it as "a smoochy sort of song with a very grandiose chorus which is bound to be a hit like all Cliff's records always are."[4]
