Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard said the song is "flawless".[5] Mixmag called it "an orgasmic club moment."[6] The magazine later commented that "its irresistible blend of floaty production and Rainie Lassiter’s soul-stirring vocal makes for an otherworldly, spiritual experience - with just the right amount of kick to ignite a club." Music & Media wrote that De'Lacy "is set to take over Europe with the stompin' houser Hideway. Beguiling female vocals, deep bass sways, catchy percussion and anticipatory hesitance add up to a winner of a track."[7] Muzik noted that the song "has the rare ability to hold its own in both the underground and commercial market places."[8]
