Critical reception

[edit]

EW described it as "essentially Backstreet’s version of “It’s Gonna Be Me”",[1] and felt that along with The Call the song was an example of the group presenting themselves as "bad boys on the prowl".[2] Rolling Stones wrote the song had "drama-crazed harmonies".[3] Allmusic felt the song's similarity to "It's Gonna Be Me" and "Baby One More Time" was the result of all three being written by Max Martin.[4] Mashable described it as "attitude-filled".[5] New York Post thought the song had a "distinct quality of musical maturity" that the magazine likened to Michael Jackson's Thriller.[6]
