Critical reception

edit

A reviewer from Music Week rated "Disco's Revenge" three out of five, adding that "New Jersey's Gusto delivers a classy, bassy track, which has been championed by Radio One but has limited crossover potential."[2] James Hamilton from the RM Dance Update described it as a "Harvey Mason 'Groovin' You' riff based 'bum bum bum' bumbling simple hypnotic strider".[3]
