Critical reception
The single was reviewed in the August 6, 1988 issue of Billboard magazine. The review said, "Dolly's vocal personality sweetens this advice to put forth the effort to make a relationship work. Although material seems weak, the idea is creative."
Cashbox reviewed the single in their August 13, 1988 issue. It said, "Dolly heads nowhere near her country roots on this release. It's a synthesizer-laden, soulful ballad that is heavily orchestrated as well. Released from her recent pop-tinged LP, Rainbow, Parton here relates the work involved in keeping love alive and thriving."
