Critical reception

James Masterton for Dotmusic described the song as "more atmospheric meanderings" from Jam & Spoon.[1] Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote that the participation "is as simple as on Crystal Waters' Gypsy Woman (La Da Da La Da Dee) and Lavinia Jones' Sing It To You (Dee-Doob-Dee-Doo). The flamenco bit is another hook."[2]

Music video

The accompanying music video of "Angel (Ladadi O-Heyo)" was directed by German director Marcus Nispel.[3] It tells the story of two girls having sex with older men under hidden cameras. Then they are blackmailing those men with videotapes of the act. They drive around in a van and go to a cafe where they tear down the place, threatening people with guns. The police comes, surrounding the place. When the girls are refusing to come out and then shoot a young man, the police attacks and a smoke grenade are sent into the cafe. At last, when the girls come out, one of them is being shot down, and the other arrested. In between this depiction, Plavka performs, looking at the camera through a porthole window.[4] Two versions of the video were released, a censored and an uncensored version.
