Reception

The Guardian wrote that "Jus 1 Kiss" is "intoxicating in its hands-in-the-air simplicity," while The Irish Times claimed that it demonstrates Basement Jaxx's "growing confidence." [2] [3] John Bush for AllMusic and Ed Potton for The Times described it as "filtered disco" and "breezy...and soaring", respectively, each complimenting the song as contributing to Rooty overall. [4] [5] In a retrospective for Rooty, DJ Mag referred to it as a "timeless pop single." [6] On the other hand, a Spin review compared it negatively to Wings and called it "unsatisfying," while a Sunday Times review wrote that it was uninteresting. [7] [8]
