Critical reception

James Hyman from Music Week's RM Dance Update rated the song five out of five, declaring it an "obvious dreamhouse successor" to Robert Miles' "Children". He added, "With its 'Shinny/Elevator' pace, jolting stabs, rapid rolls and tinkly piano, Emmanuel Top and the Italian Bruno duo, who are no strangers to this style ('Age of Love'), have created a trump (trouser) trancer. Previously top five in Germany and number one in Spain, expect to see this in a UK Top 10 chart neat you soon." [1]

Music video

The accompanying music video for "Seven Days and One Week" was directed by German music video and film director Martin Weisz. [2]

Impact and legacy

In 2014, Jeffrey Sutorius from Dutch electronic music group Dash Berlin ranked the song at number four in his list of "Dash Berlin's Top Five Trance Classics". [3] He said:

I remember when this track came out on Triangle Records. I believe it was around 1996. The production was really clean for that time and the saw tooth synth lead was really basic, but the record did really well on the dance floor. It has been remixed and rereleased many times, but still nothing comes close to the original. There are a lot of trance records from that time that sampled that typical reversed crash cymbal, but I believe BBE were the first to do it.
