Critical reception

British magazine Music Week rated the 1995 version of the song four out of five, adding, "Wildchild's passion for classic electro and hip hop has been put to good use, jumbling Public Enemy-influenced repetitive sounds and fresh house beats."[2] In 1997, they gave the '98 remix five out of five, writing that "Norman Cook's infectious mix — along with house and breakbeat mixes from Stretch & Vern and Urban Takeover — should bring it even greater chart success this time around."[3]
