Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard described it as "a technotinged hi-NRG rave", adding, "The Italo-producer/DJ interweaves her vocals into a spiraling arrangement of synths that are alternately rough and disco-smooth. Break out the platform boots for this one, kids!"[1] James Hamilton from Music Week's RM Dance Update noted that Holloway's acappella of 'Love Sensation' "once again provides the vocal samples for an italo house pounder, this consequently old fashioned but powerful urgent galloper".[2] Sian Pattenden from Smash Hits wrote, "This record is more stormin' than a hurricane and has whirlwinds of plinkety plonky syntherisms to boot. It bounces along delightfully. Hurrah! Runner-up Single Of The Fortnight."[3]
