Critical reception

Larry Flick of Billboard wrote, "This pop/funk rumbler could change the album's retail profile, thanks largely to its comforting old-school soul inflections. At the core of this jam is a touching tribute to Kravitz's late mother, which he handles with none of the clichéd hand-wringing that far too many other artists might indulge in. Rather, he is the picture of poignant serenity, which only adds to the appeal of a single that you simply should not ignore."[1]
