Reception
Sophie Heawood of The Guardian commented, "Anchored by a bassline that feels like it could go on forever, Sade's light touch defines this. Her casualness and distracted ba-ba-bas belie her devotion, but it's all in the details: the crucial pause in the way she sings 'You are my ... religion,' for instance." Frank Guan of Vulture wrote, "Complicated lyrics would only get in the way of that massive bass line. Sade sticks to plain professions of fidelity and leaves it to Paul Denman to carry the day."
