Critical reception

edit

Larry Flick from Billboard described it as "a hardcore club offering that places more emphasis on the act's talent for hearty beats than its quirky persona." He added, "Lady Kier's vamps are always a pleasure, but DJs are more likely to dig the double-pack of mixes that dabble in a wide variety of trendy vibes, ranging from pop/house to trance and tribal. Deserves immediate attention."[3] Richard Smith from Melody Maker complimented the song as "quite good".[4]
