Andrew Panos from Number One described the song as a "saucy number", noting Dayne's "'I'm a chick who goes for what she wants' attitude". Matthew Collin from Record Mirror declared it as a "glossy pop" song, that "glow like a nuclear reactor gone critical."

British magazine Mixmag ranked the song number 54 in its "100 Greatest Dance Singles Of All Time" list in 1996.

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Producer Ric Wake has previously been at the helm for hits by pop divas like Mariah Carey and Taylor Dayne—and his magic touch is warmly felt here. Sizzling, seductive vocals jump over percussive, bass-driven synth instrumentation." Electronic dance and clubbing magazine Mixmag commented, "'Good groovy tune', said the sticker in the record shop. Fiver for an import. Snapped it up and I've played it ever since, Biti's optimistic love-song vocal swaying high above an uproarious, lean 'n' funky piano groove. It became a big club hit when FFRR picked it up for release and remains a classic because, well, it just is."
Andy Beevers from Music Week felt the song "is a superb commercial garage out that was a club fave on US import. Given some mainstream radio play, it could well follow in the footsteps of 'Too Blind to See It' and 'Finally'." On the 1994 re-release, Alan Jones gave it four out of five and named it Pick of the Week, calling it a "glorious house anthem", adding, "Watch it fly." Seamus Quinn from NME named it Single of the Week, stating that the original 'King Street Mix' "is practically perfect: shuffling heavy drums and sub bass rhythm, brilliant horns, disco guitar licks and smooth organs. The happy "so in love" vocals are a dream." James Hamilton from the Record Mirror Dance Update remarked that "this Richie Jones produced breathily surging diva wailed garage shuffler" has the "current sound" with keyboards by Eric Kupper. Alex Kadis from Smash Hits wrote, "Well, it's a strapping dancerama of a song and deserves more recognition than it got last time around".

In 1996, British DJ duo Sharp Boyz chose the track as one of their favourites. George Mitchell said, "It's a favourite of ours, the best vocal-with-piano track ever made. It's so uplifting, you never get tired of it. It gives me goose pimples."
