Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that the song "chugs with a synth-happy, reggae-spiced beat and a bit of throat-ravaging toasting by Gibril "Mr. Gee" Jobe." He added that "the focal point of the track, however, is singer Linn Engstrom, who has a reedy voice and an icy-cool delivery."[3]

Polish version

Shortly after the release of the song "Don't Go Breaking My Heart", the Polish version of the song "Nie jestem zła" was created, performed by Magdalena Sokołowska, who used her name as a stage pseudonym in the 1990s. This singer created songs on the borderline of eurodance and Polish dance music known as disco polo.[4][5]
