Critical reception
Bill Coleman from Billboard wrote, "Sample-happy Italian outfit follows No. 1, "Touch Me", with an engaging, though less-inspired house jam, coated with disco coloring."[2] David Giles from Music Week stated that the song "should do equally well both on the dancefloor and in the shops. It uses all the tricks of the Italian house formula in order to produce an urgent good-time track."[3]
