Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "If you're hankering for fresh material from this highly talented pop/urban ingenue, look no further. This tune from the soundtrack to Fox-TV's Beverly Hills 90210 is a sugary ballad that is given depth by Shanice's sincere delivery. While she would be better served by an arrangement that has a little less gloss, any chance to feast on her voice is well worth taking."^[1]
