Critical Reception

The song received positive reviews from music critics. Quentin Harrison from Albumism described the song as "breezy", noting that it "has its flavor deepened with some chirpy disco widgetry." AllMusic editor William Cooper noted the song as a "bland, dated-sounding synth pop throwback". Music & Media wrote, "What would the entire heaven be like, is the question that arises on hearing this danceable soul song. May it turn the world into paradise for the four minutes that it takes." Pop Rescue noted that "there's some nice vocal harmonies in the chorus, with some funky brass sections and disco 'pops'."
