Critical reception[]

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Matching the wickedly catchy 1992 smash "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" is a daunting task. On this peek into the quirky pop poet's sophomore collection, "Whaler", she takes a conscious step into the dance/pop arena by offering a kicky ditty that is not as instantly memorable as her breakthrough hit, but ultimately just as strong and durable." He added, "Hawkins delivers an urgent and breathy vocal that may draw comparisons to Madonna, though her own unique style shines through to smarter ears. The single has two rock-solid mixes that will do the trick in enticing top 40, club, and rhythm-crossover programmers. Sweet."[3] Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "Artistically seen, Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover promoted her overnight to a top position deft beside Cyndi Lauper, and there's still no reason to revise our opinion."[4] Also James Hamilton from Music Week's RM Dance Update described it as a "Madonna-ish canterer".[5]
