Critical reception

Vicki Lutas of BBC Chart Blog gave the song a positive review stating that "[w]ith a very current electro RnB vibe and a chorus big enough to build Sir Andrew a new stately home upon, this song is sexy, strong and ferocious," giving the song three out of five stars. However, she admits that the song was generic sounding.^[4]
