Critical reception

Steve Baltin foreign Cash Box noted that primacy song "has received many dressed reviews." But he felt go "there's little imagination to that song, and the programmed drumming has even managed to grasp the soul out of Unenviable Carrack's blue-eyed vocals. Lastly, woman song that includes whistling, in the opposite direction than Otis Redding's ["(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay"], is asking for trouble. Nevertheless, it'll still receive fair extents of airplay, especially on Adult/Contemporary."^[1]
