The melody and Half Pint's smooth crooning on this track have definite pop crossover appeal -- a goal the diminutive dancehall artist hasn’t always pursued. However, that goal is subverted by the tune’s skeletal, one-chord backing, which either means Half Pint is staying true to his roots or just missed a good shot at the charts. Either way, the effect is rather hypnotic by song’s end, making this a worthwhile download, if not completely characteristic of Half Pint’s distinguished dancehall catalog.
