A black-and-white music video was made to accompany the song. It shows Mazelle and Jazzie B dancing together on a dancefloor while performing it.
Alex Henderson from AllMusic described the song as a "sleek urban/dance/neo-soul" groove.[1] Bill Coleman from Billboard picked it as one of the "special moments" from Vol. II: 1990 – A New Decade.[2] Another editor, Larry Flick stated that it "places guest diva Kym Mazelle within a down-tempo R&B/house groove. A tad slow for peak-hour play, but just perfect for early-a.m. sets."[3] Ernest Hardy from Cashbox complimented the chorus of the song.[4]Music & Media wrote that it is "somewhat similar" to their 1989 hit "Keep On Movin'" and noted further that this is "another strong contender from the masters of club music."[5] Selina Webb from Music Week called it "a safe bet" featuring Mazelle's "strident soul vocal and loads of sophisticated groove techniques." She added that "this will chart highly".[6]People Magazine said it is one of the "winners" on the album, "which Kym Mazelle gets to belt it out".[7] Tom Doyle from Smash Hits described it as an "ace tune", that sounds "a bit" like "Keep On Movin'". He added that it "definitely deserves to be a single".[8]
