Critical reception[]

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "While George Michael spends all his time in court, Peter Cunnah takes his chance to fill the gap in the market. Here he's like a young Joel singing the "River Of D:Reams"."[1] Alan Jones from Music Week gave it four out of five, saying, "Quite different from previous D:Ream singles, this mid-tempoed pop nugget is dominated by piano and soft percussion, which allow Peter Cunnah to weave in and out with rather more room for expression than some of the group's other material."[2] James Hamilton from the magazine's RM Dance Update described it as a "pop crooner Peter Cunnah's huge singalong chroused and piano plonked shuffling jiggly 0-97.8-0bpm" track.[3]
