"Never Alone" was one of the group's most successful single, reaching number 2 in the Netherlands, number 3 in Belgium, number 18 in Italy and number 38 in Sweden. On the Eurochart Hot 100, it peaked at number 31. Outside Europe, the song peaked at number 1 in Brazil, Israel (February 1994) and South Africa.

In a broadcast on Dutch radio in January 1994, 2 Brothers on the 4th Floor said about the song:

Snap's Rhythm Is A Dancer has set the tone for the whole Euro dance movement, laying a trend for melody which acts including Haddaway, Culture Beat and ourselves follow. What we all do is more or less 'copy' the Snap sounds. The bass and a catchy synth line are the spine of the genre.[1]

In 2014, new remixes of the song by JoeySuki and Jonathan Pitch were released.[2]

Music video

A black-white music video was made to accompany the song. It features D-Rock and Des'Ray performing on the beach in Mexico.[3]

gollark: Anyway, my clever tagged template string hack, although probably less efficient than manually declaring a ton of variables for prepared statements everywhere, makes queries look quite nice *and* does not have horrible security flaws.
gollark: They are not, mostly, because of ASI.
