Critical reception[]
Music & Media commented, "Clearly inspired by 70s disco and bearing the trademark SAW production imprint. A nice little tune with loads of violins and a stampeding drum computer."[1] Nick Robinson from Music Week wrote, "Written, arranged and produced by SAW, this sticks to a winning formula. The Supremes-meets-Gloria Gaynor vocals are coaxed along by that familiar chugging rhythm and vibrant backing".[2]
