The song was met with a positive response from critics. Matt Bagwell of The Huffington Post awarded the song five out of five stars in his track-by-track review of Tears on the Dancefloor in April 2017; he wrote that the piano introduction is reminiscent of the musical style on English singer Adele's third studio album 25 (2015), but noted that it soon evolves into "classic Steps. Or Kylie." He concluded by endorsing its release as a potential single. Shaun Kitchener of the Daily Express echoed Bagwell's notation of the down to up-tempo structure, and described the song as an "instant classic". AXS contributor Lucas Villa praised the track, writing that the song "shines as a true Steps classic with feel good lyrics that could light up the darkest room." In his review for the music video, Villa also wrote that the song is a "glowing ode to celebrating away the bad times" and the "perfect pop potion for fighting the blues."
