Critical reception

[edit]

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "This tender -hearted pop ballad, laced with lush harmonies and soft percussion, should net high marks at adult -leaning top 40, urban, and AC outlets. Easy -listening, melodic fare is tailor -made for quartet's increasingly ardent audience.[6]
