Successful in Europe, the single peaked at number two in both Finland and Switzerland, and was a top-5 hit also in Germany and Hungary, while in Austria, it peaked at number six. On the Eurochart Hot 100, it reached number 13 in October 1996. "Pray" received a gold certification in Germany, after 250,000 singles were sold there.[1]
Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "An excellent combination of a fast radio friendly beat, Eurodance raps and an impressive gospel choir. It's already doing well in the GSA [Germany-Switzerland-Austria] countries, but this should charm EHR programmers everywhere."
