polished sound at the time, it was the accompanying video unveiled the following month that became the band's transformative, watershed moment." Larry Flick from Billboard described it as "wriggling" and "funk-fortified". A reviewer from Liverpool Echo noted, "If you stop dancing, and listen to the lyrics, you see a whole new side to singer Jay Kay." Music Week rated it four out of five, writing, "From its simple piano opening onwards, this gorgeous, immaculately-recorded track doesn't put a note wrong.
