Critical reception
AllMusic editor Stephen Schnee described the song as a 'delectable slice of '90s disco'.[1] Billboard wrote, 'Now that they've proven how "sexy" they are, Fred and friends want you to pucker up...immediately. Follow up to the act's No. 1 smash is an equally appealing pop/house gem that benefits from a guest vocal from club dynamo Jocelyn Brown. Infectious hook and tasty remixes by Danny Tenaglia render track a sturdy contender for continued action on both the radio and dancefloor.
Also, be sure to check out the act's debut album, "Up".'[2]
