Critical reception
On its release, Music & Media wrote: "Contemporary soul with an infectious beat, some inspired singing and a state-of-the-art production." Peter Kinghorn of the Evening Chronicle praised the song's "catchy medium tempo" and "excellent expressive lead vocal".
In a review of You Wash... I'll Dry, Diana Valois of The Morning Call commented: "With a lead singer like Campbell, the group has a fluid baritone who can ease into mid-range tenor for the warm tremble of "I Guess It Doesn't Matter" or the slow burn of "This Kind of Woman"." Billboard commented: "First single, "Headline News", has begun to ignite attention, though "I Guess It Doesn't Matter" could have even stronger legs."
