The song was written by Allen George and Fred McFarlane[citation needed], and was Robin S.'s second number one on the US dance chart, where it spent one week at the top.

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "The up-and-coming Ms S. is out to prove that "Show Me Love" was no fluke with this aggressive dance ditty from her sturdy debut album," adding, "Although the production is a little too familiar for its own good at times, the song itself is quite cool, and Robin cuts loose like a well-seasoned diva.

"[5] Rod Edwards from the Gavin Report felt it has the potential to be even bigger than "Show Me Love", remarking that "a boomin' kick drum and carefully arranged synthesizers provide a "house"-influenced track, and Robin's emotion-filled vocals spice up the rhythm.

"[7] Brad Beatnik from Music Week's RM Dance Update stated, "Expect this slice of pure garage heaven to be huge".

[9] Wendi Cermak from The Network Forty wrote, "Keeping with the same formula [...] the Maven of House is back with another strong rhythmic mover.

"[10] James T. Jones IV from USA Today praised her "gutsy, gospel-trained voice" that "digs deep" into the groove.
