Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that the dance act "that brought "Joy" to many a punter over a year ago is back with a peppy Euro-disco mover that soars above the current throng of NRGetic wannabes on the strength of Carol Leeming's forceful vocal. She injects sass and bounce to a simple pop hook, while also anchoring the track's frothy mélange of sugary synths and loops."^[3] Andy Beevers from Music Week's RM Dance Update said, "This belated follow-up to 'Joy' is another big and confident song backed by an impressive array of remixes that provides justification for the doublepack." He added, "The top of the Club Chart beckons."^[4] Another editor, James Hamilton described it as a "Carol Leeming hollered happy M People-ish devotional pure gospel galloper".^[5] Debby Peterson from The Network Forty deemed it a "great dance record".^[6]
