Critical reception

Mark Frith from Smash Hits gave the song three out of five, writing, "Everyone makes jokes about the Eurovision Song Contest, but we all want to win really. Frances Ruffelle is a rather wonderful, gutsy singer who could sing the London phone directory and make it sound good. And guess what? She just has! Well almost. This pleasant, atmospheric gospel song is the last thing that wins Eurovision. But after repeated listens it's wonderful."
