Critical reception

Jon O'Brien from AllMusic viewed the song as an example of "perfect R&B-infused pop".[2] Larry Flick from Billboard magazine wrote, "A glowing moment from the noteworthy "Always & Forever" album, this midtempo jam chugs along with rich harmonies, a diva-driven lead vocal, and an arrangement that pads a hip-hop foundation with sweet retro-soul nuances and a killer chorus. Juicy."[3]
