Critical reception

Alan Jones from Music Week described the song as "a groin-grinding slow jam created by R Kelly and sweetly sung by two femmes, with do you mind if I stroke you up/down lyrics. Top five in their native US." In his weekly dance column, James Hamilton from the Record Mirror Dance Update named it a "slinky girl duo's R. Kelly created typically blatant sexy 85.7bpm US smash, sure to get the juices flowing..."
