Reception

The song received a positive reception from most music critics. William Ruhlmann picked the track as the "Album's best track" in his AllMusic review.^[2] The Dooyoo review was extremely positive, and it said: "This is the strongest track on the album - a real pop song with great uptempo beat. Written by Paul Barry and Mark Taylor, and co-produced by Brian Rawling, its easily the most modern song on the album, and should have been a huge hit with the correct promotion. It actually was a huge hit in some parts of the world, including Spain and performed well in the US too. Fabian sings optimistically about getting over a broken heart and finding a new love. 10/10".^[3]
