enough romantic ballad but nothing extremely exciting." Pan-European magazine Music & Media said that it "could tear down walls like "Walking in Memphis" did for Marc Cohn." Alan Jones from Music Week described it as a "extremely attractive piano-led, mid-tempo ballad", noting that "along with a warm vocal style (two parts Billy Joel to one Jim Croce) Kadison has a fine melodic sense, and this lyrical song deserves to be heard." John Kilgo from The Network Forty felt that a "soulful bluesy delivery exemplifies the main strength of newcomer Joshua Kadison, who reaches new heights with this electrifying piano ballad."
