Critical reception

[edit]

Phyl Garland of Stereo Review claimed the song "bears a vague resemblance to the Peaches and Herb hit "Reunited" and stands up just as well to repeated hearings."[2] Andy Kellman of AllMusic took note that "The title track, not as fully developed as the following year's bigger ballad "A Woman Needs Love," has Parker swapping verses with Arnell Carmichael over pleasant, functional backing.[3]
