Lewis Corner ofDigital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:
"I've been waiting all night for you to tell me what you want," singer Ella Eyre's warm and tender vocal declares over steadily rising drum-step and synthesised organ, before the chorus bursts open with soul-flying brass. It may echo much of their previous hits – if not with a slightly darker edge – but nevertheless their sound is one they can officially claim to dominate.
