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." [3] [4] 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. [5] [6] In a retrospective for Rooty, DJ Mag referred to it as a "timeless pop single." [7] 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. [8] [9]
