Critical reception

Jose F. Promis of AllMusic gave the single 4 out of 5 stars, writing: "This is the type of seminal recording that, since it was never a hit upon initial release, deserves to be rediscovered by a music supervisor and used in a film -- it's that good, and it's a true shame that something as timeless and lovely as this ditty can't muster enough muscle to dent the U.S. pop charts." Jay Lustig of NJ.com called it "a quintessential summertime song -- warm, relaxed and effortlessly catchy."
