==Critical reception==
Richard Lowe from ''[[Smash Hits]]'' wrote, "The Nilli's song is quite sweet. It's got a nice melody, gently plopping synths and a tasteful horn solo. Why, one could almost forgive them their trousers."<ref>{{cite magazine|first=Richard|last=Lowe|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/57779449@N02/37440477332/in/album-72157685810053432/|title=Singles|magazine=[[Smash Hits]]|date=20 September 1989|page=73|access-date=11 March 2023}}</ref>
