They commented: "Palmer's been around awhile, but musically, he continues to shift gears and develop as an artist. On [this] second single from his current LP, he has created an immensely infectious little electronic boogie, half pop, half funk, to support his high, multi-tracked vocals, with a neat vibe break."[8] In a review of Clues, Audio described the song as "futuristic sounding".[9] In a retrospective review of the album, Donald A. Guarisco of AllMusic described the song as "a clever slice of new wave pop that surprises the listener with an unexpected xylophone solo".[3] Ultimate Classic Rock included the song as one of Palmer's Top 10 songs in a retrospective look at his career.[10] Track listing
