In the US, the single was not as popular as her previous two hits, "Show Me Love" and "Do You Know (What it Takes)", peaking at number 10 on the Pop Songs airplay chart.

Larry Flick from Billboard described the song as a "engaging third single from her fun debut", noting that "in its original Ulf Lindstrom/Johan Ekhé production, the song is a chipper, hip hop-inflected ditty with infectious kid-pop energy and a nursery rhyme-like hook.

Recut with Q.D.3 at the helm, it has become a sultry, Teena Marie-esque soul shuffler that's clearly designed to attract an older and more varied audience to the party."

"[2] Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented that "the part nagging/part soulful vocals of this Swedish singer and the mid-tempo groove that comfortably chugs along make for a pleasant and casual pop/dance tune.

"[3] Later in 1998, when released in the UK, Music & Media stated that the new version is a "lush midtempo ballad".
