Upon its release, the song peaked at number nine on the UK Singles Chart early the following month, becoming Romeo's second and final top-40 hit as a solo act.

Meanwhile, Christina Milian was disputing with her record label, Def Soul, because she believed her self-titled debut album did not represent her musical identity properly.

[2][4] Critically, British trade publication Music Week listed the song as a "recommended" single, referring to it as "one of the coolest duets of the year".

[5] British columnist James Masterton commented on the song after it charted in the UK, writing that Milian "overshadows" Romeo on the recording but provides the "perfect" hook.

[6] Retrospectively, music website Can't Stop the Pop praised the song's "sincere" charisma, Milian's performance, and the two singers' chemistry, noting that the composition does not stray too far from the sound of So Solid Crew yet establishes enough identify to endorse Romeo's talents.
