Critical reception

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "It's not often that remixes make a difference, but in this you get two radio hits for the price of one. The original radio version has an up-tempo reggae rhythm and a poppy chorus, while Pierre J's Radio Remix is fast, hard techno with exotic background vocals and dubs." [1]
