Larry Flick from Billboard wrote about the song, "Wisely, Whigfield broadens its stylistic palette slightly by issuing a jam fueled by a chugging faux-funk beat.

The wall of glistening keyboards raises the sugar quotient of the song's cutie-pie vocals and "ooh-baby-baby" lyrics to potentially diabetic heights.

"[3] James Masterton for Dotmusic viewed it as "a soaring romantic ballad which calls for a powerful voice that Whigfield just about manages to supply.

[5] Music Week gave it two out of five, saying that "after a trio of delightful frothy pop successes, Whigfield goes balladeering but her harsh voice jars with the undoubted sweetness of the song.

It pays homage to the paintings of American artist Edward Hopper such as Automat, Morning Sun, and Office in a Small City.
