AllMusic

Andrew Hamilton of AllMusic stated "Ty Hunter's falsetto croons the hurting lyrics about the perils of taking love for granted, the LP version flows over four minutes, the single only gave you 2:45 of the harmonious ballad. Their biggest record, "Crumbs Off the Table" led by Payne, has snappy lyrics and a hesitating groove."
