Critical reception[]

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Betcha thought it would never happen. Torch diva lang slips into an intense deep-house groove with a lot more ease than you might expect. Redressing of a disco-minded cut from the "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" soundtrack is an essential peak-hour entry, thanks to hearty bottom and moody keyboards. Radio may dig the equally jammin' hip-hop remixes. Gag on it, kiddies."[1] Music & Media commented, "This funky single off the Even Cowgirls Get The Blues soundtrack is a gigantic departure from her usual "torch and twang." Funky as hell, it should give dance divas the blues."[2]
