Critical reception
Alex Henderson of AllMusic stated that the "more melodic and accessible nature of 'deep house' is evident" on the song. He also named it a "very addictive" club hit that features "likeable dance diva" Cathy Dennis.[1] Bill Coleman from Billboard magazine praised it as "a tasty pop-inflected club track pumping a generous instrumental and lyrical hook."[2] Selina Webb from Music Week wrote,"The trends keep on coming but D-Mob seem to have lost the edge with this one. OK,the catchy bits have been pretty blatant so far,but this girlie-crooned bass pumper needs hefty dancefloor blasting before it catches on. Uplifts the spirits and all that,but too late to inspire."[3]
Music video
The accompanying music video for "C'mon and Get My Love" was directed by Marek Budzynski,and garnered heavy MTV rotation.[4] It depicts D-Mob as a film director on set,with Dennis and two female dancers performing in front of large blue letters that spell out 'D-MOB'.
