The song earned generally positive reviews from critics and was noted for Tamia's more restrained and seductive singing technique.

Her debut single "You Put a Move on My Heart", "Slow Jams" (performed with Babyface, Portrait and Barry White)[1] and "Missing You" (performed with Brandy, Chaka Khan and Gladys Knight) all earned Grammy Award nominations, making Tamia one of the most anticipated new R&B singers in the US.
