success
reception
Bill Lamb gave the song 4.5 out of five stars and characterized it as the "perfect slow dance alternative". He went on to add that while Brown is delighting countless young fans, he has not yet released a first-class romantic performance. That title would be that performance. He described the lyrics as "sometimes too easy". He was also of the opinion that the title helped Brown to prove that he was not only a great dancer, but that he could really communicate with the audience through his voice.
