Critical reception


Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Already a household name in various parts of Europe, Swiss producer/musician/rapper stomps into U.S. consciousness with a hi-NRG jam that is often reminiscent of Culture Beat and 2 Unlimited. Although the lyrics never venture beyond the "let's boogie" mode, there is no denying that the contagious chorus and spiraling synths add up to a possible crossover smash. Mixes range from pop-friendly to more hard-edged rave."[2]
