Reception

In 2014, Jeffrey Sutorius from Dutch electronic music group Dash Berlin ranked the song at number 4 in his list of Dash Berlin's Top Five Trance Classics.[3] He said:

I remember when this track came out on Triangle Records. I believe it was around 1996. The production was really clean for that time and the saw tooth synth lead was really basic, but the record did really well on the dance floor. It has been remixed and rereleased many times, but still nothing comes close to the original. There are a lot of trance records from that time that sampled that typical reversed crash cymbal, but I believe BBE were the first to do it.
