Critical reception
Revolt's Maurita Salkey said that it has a "smooth R&B style and vocals, powered with his usual theme of love, sex, and passion. [...] Trey expresses his feelings on finding true love and slowly wanting to change his playboy ways [...] deliver[ing] a much more mature sound in which fans will be appreciative of".[3] John Kennedy of Vibe called the song "conflicted", praising its "'90s slow jam vibes and exquisite falsetto".[4] Maeve McDermott of USA Today commended the song, stating that on the song while "hint[ing] at his lothario status, Songz promises he's a better man than his behavior makes him seem".[5]
