''[[Music & Media]]'' wrote about the song: "This band is enjoying singles success with different titles in various parts of Europe. Last year's continental smash, Coco Jambo, is now performing quite nicely in the U.K.. This song, which is at least as infectious as its predecessor, is helping establish the band as a permanent feature on the Eurochart, and entered the German singles listing at number six. Ralph Blasberg, head of music at Frankfurt-based commercial CHR network Radio FFH, covering the whole of the state of Hessen, considers the song a 'must play'. "This song is the type of pop/dance crossover material that our core audience loves and therefore it fits our format perfectly." Blasberg elaborates, "We conduct a lot of listener research; we found that this song with its feelgood, summery flavour is just perfect for us.

In the UK, it reached number 73. Outside Europe, the song peaked at number 78 in Australia. It was certified gold in Germany, with a sale of 250,000 units. A music video was also produced to promote the single, featuring the group performing in a night club.

Critical reception

[edit]

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "This band is enjoying singles success with different titles in various parts of Europe. Last year's continental smash, Coco Jamboo, is now performing quite nicely in the U.K.. This song, which is at least as infectious as its predecessor, is helping establish the band as a permanent feature on the Eurochart, and entered the German singles listing at number six.

Head of music at Frankfurt-based commercial CHR network Radio FFH, covering the whole of the state of Hessen, Ralph Blasberg considered the song a 'must play'. "This song is the type of pop/dance crossover material that our core audience loves and therefore it fits our format perfectly. We conduct a lot of listener research; we found that this song with its feelgood, summery flavour is just perfect for us. The fact it entered our singles chart straight at position six seems to confirm our research."[1] Gerald Martinez from New Straits Times felt the song "delivers a spicy taste. It swings in a colourful kaleidoscope of house, Latin American rhythms and pop grooves. Very hooky."[2]
