Critical reception

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "Tell the world another talented Swedish singer has just stood up to be counted. The reggae set-up has Ace of Base cleverness, while the singing is ABBA-esque and the rapper is the finishing Euro touch." ^[1] Manila Standard commented that "you are swept by the dizzying beat" of the song. ^[3]
