Matt Bjorke of Roughstock described the song favorably. He described it as "a sweetly romantic power ballad that is sure to become a smash hit wedding track in 2009."[1] Jim Malec of The 9513 gave the song a "thumbs down" review.[2] He stated in his review that the song "feels like an exercise in mediocrity–a fact audible in Mates’ delivery."[2]
The music video was directed by Steven Goldmann.
