Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Pop/urban ingenue follows the giddy "I Love Your Smile" with a mature and sensitive ballad. Grand production by Walden inspires a powerful vocal performance, which should help build momentum at several radio formats."[1] Michael Eric Dyson from Rolling Stone described the song as "a piercing lamentation of lost love, [that] slowly builds to a wailing climax."[2]
