Critical reception
Alan Jones from Music Week gave Richard's version of the song three out of five, writing, "The Chamberlain-esque title conceals a commercial single penned by Andy Hill and Peter Sinfield, who wrote many of Bucks Fizz's finest. Upbeat, well sung and hopeful, with bounding, club-friendly Harding/Curnow mixes."
