Critical reception

from Billboard wrote that the "new composition featured on the legendary diva's "" greatest hits collection proves that her voice is stronger now than ever. She soars with spine-tingling power over a pop-house arrangement that nicks an idea or two from several of her vintage disco hits, while injecting a modern house sensibility that ensures active club exposure. A nice variety of remixes also holds promise for much-deserved crossover onto pop radio airwaves." Music & Media noted that "co-written by David Cole and Robert Clivilles, Summer returns to '70s disco which first made her famous. Vocally taking untenable hurdles, she could be Whitney's twin sis."
