The song was originally released in January 1998, but its moderate charting success was limited, due to the time of the shooting of the video.

Becky Byrkit from AllMusic praised the remix version, noting its "trademark glass voices and barely discernible acoustic musical instruments.

[6] A reviewer from Music Week felt the remix "lacks the warmth of the original, but Andrea Corr's vocals shine through the rather spartan sound and the chorus's hook remains as infectious as ever.

"[7] Claudia Connell from News of the World remarked that "Corrs are one of the most played acts on Irish airwaves at the moment and this looks like being the hit single they desperately deserve.

"[8] Dave Fawbert from ShortList praised it as a "absolutely brilliant song" and "really lovely slice of folky pop".
