Critical reception
In 1992, Melody Maker named the song "Single of the Week",writing that Earl Sixteen's "laid-back drawl weaves in and out of the slow,seductive groove and alternates with a beautiful Arabian keyboard melody. It works a perfect charm. The trance dance FX will have you levitating and,in such a vulnerable physical and mental state,the Andy Weatherall-esque drum rolls will catch you unawares every time." [2] A reviewer from Music Week gave the 1996 version three out of five,describing it as a "very commercial dub techno tune." [3]
Roger Morton from NME noted that it contains "a plea for 'peace and unity'","that might sound hackneyed in other hand. But the stately euphoric rubberised techno dub of Barnes and Daley's sequencing easily holds the sentiments aloft." [4] Brad Beatnik from the RM Dance Update,gave it five out of five and named it Tune of the Week,declaring it as a "cool,soulful ragga-fuelled track". He concluded,"Once again,the production quality is superb and Leftfield provide plenty for the feet and the mind." [5]
