The critical temperature of water is higher than that of O2 because H2O molecule has dipole moment. How is dipole moment involved?

H2O has bent shape structure that is some acute angle b/w the two hydrogens whereas the oxygen molecule has double bonded with sp2 hy. has 180 degree ange straight woth another O atom.
.
And therefore, dipole moment is inversely proportionak to the anglle b/w the molecules.
