Critical reception

Quentin Harrison from Albumism called it one of the album's "most significant compositions", noting that Stansfield "vocally burns the house" on the song.[3] Larry Flick from Billboard complimented it as a "shimmering pop ballad fueled by Stansfield's positively flawless vocal and an arrangement reminiscent of vintage compositions." He noted that it "builds from a quiet place to a climax that will leave you with goosebumps."[4] R.S. Murthi from New Straits Times said that Stansfield "acquits herself with style and grace" on tunes like "In All the Right Places".[5]
