Critical reception

J.D. Considine from The Baltimore Sun noted "how the guitar-hook evokes" "Sunshine of Your Love".[1] Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "It's not easy to follow a single like "Free," which is easily among the most revered dance singles of the last five years. Naté fearlessly faces the challenge with a jam that smartly doesn't aim to duplicate the tone of her now-classic hit. Instead, she and collaborators Mood II Swing and Danny Madden have cooked up a tune that has an infectious pop feel and a sturdy, club-credible house groove. The diva is in fine voice here and is matched by a muscular bassline and keyboard/guitar interplay that oozes with funk flavor. Not only an excellent way of introducing Naté's long-awaited new album, "Situation Critical", "Found a Cure" positions her for another lengthy reign atop many a DJ's playlist."[2] Sunday Mirror commented, "Miss Nate proves there's more than Free in her locker with a pure floorfiller. A Gloria Gaynor for the Millennium."[3]

Music video

A music video was made to accompany the song, directed by American film director Charles Stone III.[4]
