Critical reception

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "Packing several hooks and a peppy eurobeat, the track is lushly produced with more than a hint of Jim Steinman's "more is better" approach. Pure pop, very Scandi and very programmable." [1]

Music video

The accompanying music video followed up the theme from "Angels Crying" by featuring an homage to horror movies. It was directed by Mikeodelica. While the video for "Angels Crying" was similar to Friday the 13th , "Here I Go Again" had the same plot as Poltergeist .

The music video includes a reference to a previous song by E-Type, "This Is the Way", which was also the second single of the first album. The song can be heard in the car stereo, while the car of the party goers arrives in the vacation venue.
