Critical reception

Music & Media wrote about the 1996 song: "Some of those catchy Italo tunes are just irresistible. After one play you can't get them out of your head and this is definitely one. Originally made by Italian producers, and now remixed by the Dutch BT&T-production-team, this single contains two excellent radio edits."[2]
