      Critical reception


      Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Tucker follows her massive "Beautiful People" with a similar house mover. She belts words of increased spirituality and unity with earnest conviction, matching the energy of the groove with ease." He added, "The stylistic influence of producer Louie Vega is evident. He weaves a kickin' rhythm base that both DJs and punters will find infectious." Maria Jimenez from Music & Media described it as "another highly charged, positivity track" and "ideal crossover dance music". Andy Beevers from Music Week gave it four out of five, noting that the singer returns with a "strident garage track". He also stated that "it is destined to be a big clubland tune that could cross over." Ian McCann from NME wrote, "A wannabe garage anthem with a rhythm that's a little undignified to live up to its title. Close, but my hands just didn't quite hit the ceiling." James Hamilton from the RM Dance Update deemed it a "gospel cliches inspired diva's 'Little' Louie Vegas produced bounder".
