Gil L. Robertson IV from Cash Box wrote, "This single is an impressive debut for Arista Records new soul diva. Throughout this mid-tempo track Cox delivers crisp, confident vocals that gives the song a winning edge. Expect wide urban airplay with some pop possibilities as well."[1]
A music video was produced to promote the single. It starts off with actor Omar Epps, who stars as her ex. He is seen entering a restaurant where she is to be performing. She is shown backstage, getting ready, where she is unaware of his presence. She then goes onstage and performs, and the crowd loves it. She then goes backstage afterwards and continues singing until she drops her head. He appears in the doorway and she looks up and sees him.
