[1] The song was written by Maria McKee and produced by Arif Mardin.

Larry Flick of Billboard stated that Midler has released a sparkling pop gem that perfectly demonstrates her delightfully theatrical style.

[4] Commenting on the remixes, Flick wrote that the DJs with their production tried to melt the diva's voice in rocking rhythms, and that they would definitely stir up the imagination of the dance floor regulars with solid results.

He also suggested that although it is difficult to imagine an airy pop ballad in a stylistic setting that ranges from harsh and underground to festive, it actually works well, mainly thanks to Midler's performance, which is strong enough to withstand such aggressive grooves.

[6] The song was also popular in the Netherlands, where the remix was added to the extended European reissue of the compilation Experience the Divine: Greatest Hits, the album itself topped the chart, and the single entered the top ten.
