In an article in Vice , Tom Glencross wrote, "whether you're a fan of Eurotrance or not, there's no denying how much fun this music is, and as the product of the ultimate holiday romance, the chemistry between Sammy and Carisma both as lovers and performers is electrifying. It is a record of unbound joy, of Balearic fantasy, of young love, of hearts racing at 140 beats per minute, and if you don't believe me, just take a look at the album artwork." [1]
