Critical reception Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "The kicker is a delicious cover of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive", produced by Narada Michael Walden. Interestingly, that is the number that stands out in the legendary artist's current (and oh-so-festive) -hour show." Gil L. Robertson IV from Cash Box picked it as a "standout track" of the Take Me Higher album.
