Eight years later, on 6 June 2006, Dance Vault Mixes with five of Hex Hector remixes were released digitally in the United States.

The song received favorable reviews from music critics, who called it a melancholy ballad that "absolutely shines" as a dance track, and should have become a hit.

[3] Larry Flick from Billboard described the song as a "intensely soulful, heartbreaking ballad" and noted further that Stansfield "offers her strongest, most commercially viable single" since "All Woman".

He also stated that "lyrically, it stretches miles beyond standard love-gone-wrong fodder, and La Lisa delivers a vocal that is straight from the gut.

[4] Natasha Stovall from Rolling Stone commented that Stansfield sounds "edgy – even harsh – when she's staring, eyes appropriately red-rimmed, at a broken affair" in the song.
