Critical reception

Upon release, Cash Box listed the single as one of their "feature picks" during June 1987. They described the song as a "danceable, feverish single".[7] Billboard wrote: "Some must have been listening to a few Chic records; R&B dance base is complemented with lyrical and vocal insolence."[8] In a review of Belouis Some, Ernie Long of The Morning Call described the song as a "sensuous R&B cut which retain[s] a funky, jazzy feel".[9]
