you’ll give your woman a little respect,” Robinson taunts. That just as well may have been an R-E-S-P-E-C-T as the four divas say everything the Chiffons never could." In an 2020 retrospective review, Pop Rescue declared it as "a masterpiece!" Laura Checkoway from Vibe wrote that on the song, En Vogue was "sassy" and "assertive". Music video The accompanying music video for the song was directed by Matthew Rolston in February 1992. The video features the group singing the song, intercut with footage of two male back-up dancers, clad in zentai, dancing. The video was inspired by the scene "Big Spender" from the musical Sweet Charity. Impact and legacy The Village Voice listed the song number 37 in their list of "Top Singles of the 90's" in 1999. Blender put "My Lovin'" at 148th place on their list of "500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born" in 2005. They wrote: "Before En Vogue, girl-group harmonies hadn't been heard in such force on the pop charts for three decades. With Dawn Robinson singing lead, this was a female-empowerment anthem that would have done Lilith Fair proud-the repeated harmonized chanting of "You're never gonna get it" was a kiss-off par excellence. The song-and the group-were anachronisms. It was unprocessed feistiness and sass, just before hip-hop took out a monopoly on swagger." Pitchfork Media named it the 166th best track of the 1990s, commenting that "With simmering (not shimmering) James Brown guitars, fidgety new-jack beats, and tightly harmonized "ooh BOP"s, funky divas Cindy Herron, Maxine Jones, Terry Ellis, and Dawn Robinson gave the Sister Act era its "Respect"." Slant Magazine ranked the song No. 39 in its "The 100 Best Singles of the 1990s"-list in 2011. Billboard named the song No. 6 on their list of "100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time".
