Larry Flick from
Billboard magazine wrote, "At age 50, the divine Ms. LaBelle puts out more verve and energy than a lot of performers half her age. The juicy
funk throwdown is featured on her new album,
Gems, as well as the soundtrack to
Beverly Hills Cop III, and is ripe for picking by
R&B,
pop, and
club programmers. Producers
Jam and Lewis surround LaBelle's distinctive voice with phat, rugged grooves and a lively, synth-activated melody. Fab single's bright future is sealed with an array of remixes that range from street
hip hop to hearty
house." Bill Speed and John Martinucci from the
Gavin Report declared it "a midtempoed groove that gets your body shaking while singing the praises of finding Mr. Right." Andy Beevers from
Music Week gave the song a score of four out of five, adding that the remixes "work very well and will help
soul stalwart Labelle reach some new audiences." ==Credits and personnel==
