Critical reception

In their 1990-review of the song, Music & Media commented, "The Beloved are probably the most sophisticated of the post-house pop boom. They combine the thumping rhythms of that genre with an ability to manipulate atmospherics that meshes perfectly with the current nouveau hippy mentality. Add a dash of humour, a disciplined production and you have one of the best new bands around."[1] David Giles from Music Week wrote, "Their blueprint is pretty sound, though the vocals let the whole thing down by being flat and indie-like rather than stirring and emotive. They've got a long way to go yet."[2]
