Critical reception
Music Week wrote "simply, the hook is not strong enough and the song goes nowhere", adding that while the band want to be the new Wham! and cite The Beatles as influences, "that is asking too much".[1]
The Birmingham Mail wrote that "other cuts from the guys suggest a more mature approach and a whole host of 1980s influences" but considered "Say You Do" a "bland boy band sound does little for this predictable outing".[2]
Commercial performance
"Say You Do" debuted and peaked at number 11 in the United Kingdom. It spent 10 weeks in the top 100.[3]
