Critical reception
Christian John Wikane from PopMatters noted that the song featured Summer's bell-clear belt ringing high above the Phil Spector-styled wall of sound. GQ's David Levesley, when compiling a list of Donna Summer's "songs that changed the way we dance", placed the song in second place and described it as "stone-cold objective bop" and added that "it's so Frankie Valli and yet has a sensibility completely different from anything you'd have found on Tin Pan Alley".
