7, 1992. On November 14, the song was finally succeeded by "How Do You Talk to an Angel" by the Heights. It also spent four weeks atop of the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Critical reception Larry Flick from Billboard commented, "Good to hear something new by this wonderfully talented group." He described the song as a "retrominded pop/R&B tune", adding that "those now-recognizable harmonies glide over a swaying, doo-wop melody, making the track the perfect complement to a romantic evening. Has the markings of a major multiformat smash." British magazine Music Week wrote, "A superior if stylised ballad, with some classically soulful crooning and a smoothly polished finish, it looks set for major success here too. Cute acapella end adds to appeal." Jonathan Bernstein from Spin viewed it as "lugubrious".
