Critical reception

John Bush from AllMusic called it a "continent-wide Hi-NRG hit".[1] Larry Flick from Billboard commented, "After several years of building a loyal following of hi-NRG and Euro-pop fans, Italo-house act Capella appears prepped to take on the rest of the club world. "Move On Baby" kicks with a perfect blend of foamy froth and underground depth." He added it as a "cute and catchy song".[2] Taylor Parks from Melody Maker described it as "exotic", "refreshingly un-English" and "glorious". He also noted its "face-punching beats".[3]
