Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "The time, the lads kick it lovely on a lively pop/funk throwdown that harks back to the Spinners and the Gap Band with its breezy harmonies and jovial hand claps. It's a perfect addition to the spring season's party soundtrack, so expect instant R&B radio action, followed by equally ardent play on top 40 stations."[1]
