Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that "this is good-time dance fodder with no lofty agenda. Instead, Euro-pop producers Team 33 has crafted a galloping bassline that make you want to twirl and sing along with the song's giddy chorus. Fun, fun, fun stuff".[3] Music & Media commented that "the production team behind the success of such artists as Fun Factory have already enjoyed success with this track in their native Germany—where the song is a bonafide smash—in Italy and in the Netherlands. Their fine production job makes the most of a strong hook and nagging chorus, reminiscent of Crystal Waters' Gypsy Woman.""[4]
