Critical reception

A review of the song in Billboard was favorable, stating that "Morgan unleashes her full feline fury against a driving beat, purring organ, and wahwah guitar. Another satisfying side from a singer who's on a roll."[2] Richard McVey of Cashbox was less favorable, writing that it "has Morgan's great vocals, but that's all. The song says nothing new lyrically."[3]
