Critical reception
In their review of the Good 'N' Ready album, Music & Media stated, "Her forte is dance with a poppy and exuberant feel to it".[1] Tony Cross from Smash Hits commented, "After The Love I Lost, Sybil has another song with "hit" written all over it." He added that "her powerful vocals are underused in this repetitive soul-sisters dancerama."[2]
