Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Speaking of musical calls for peace and unity, this red-hot Euro-dance act drops its standard rapid pace down to a per-cussive pop/reggae groove for this engaging plea for racial harmony. The result is the act's most appealing single to date. Do not be surprised if this is also Fun Factory's biggest hit, too. You are likely to be humming the chorus for hours after the first time you hear it."[1]
