 Edna Gunderson from "USA Today" called the song a "sugary lullaby", while opining that it would not go down as one of Madonna's well-remembered songs.The "Chicago Tribune"s Ian Blair described the track as "bouncy" and praised the soothing quality of the music's composition.Richard Harrington from "The Washington Post" deduced that with the song, Madonna was harkening back to her own maternal emotions, the feelings she could not receive from her own mother, due to her untimely death.
