Critical reception British magazine Music Week wrote in their review, "Bouncy Euro pop meets MC Kinky in this track by the 17-year-old Norwegian/Nigerian dancer and rapper who has Ace of Base as stablemates. The selection of ever harder dub mixes will get dancefloors pumping." The song was given a top score of five out of five by The Mad Stuntman in Smash Hits in January 1995.
