Critical reception

Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:

"I've been waiting all night for you to tell me what you want," singer Ella Eyre's warm and tender vocal declares over steadily rising drum-step and synthesised organ, before the chorus bursts open with soul-flying brass. It may echo much of their previous hits – if not with a slightly darker edge – but nevertheless their sound is one they can officially claim to dominate. {{rating|4|5}}.[http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/singlesreviews/a471969/rudimental-ft-ella-eyre-waiting-all-night-single-review.html Rudimental ft.
