Critical reception
Adam Sweeting from The Guardian remarked on the "rough-terrain sway" of "Thrill Me". [2] A reviever from the Liverpool Echo stated that on the song, Hucknall's voice "can still turn your spine to jelly". [3] Caroline Sullivan from Melody Maker said, "A sluicing surrender to lust, [the song] is insidiously good." [4] Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote that the singer is "again gently shaking his red dreadlocks in a sensual dance rhythm." [5] Alan Jones from Music Week named it Pick of the Week, adding that the song is "bound for the upper reaches of the chart. After the Granada documentary on the band on Sunday, it should also ensure that Stars continues to sell like hotcakes for the foreseeable future." [6]
In a retrospective review, Pop Rescue said it "feels much less structured and slower, and Mick's vocals and lyrics here are weaker", noting its saxophone solo. [7] Karla Peterson from The Press-Courier described it as an "atmospheric ballad". [8] Al Walentis from the Reading Eagle viewed the song as "high-spirited". [9] Johnny Dee from Smash Hits gave it three out of five and described it as a "seriously jazzy meandering, that snoozes along in a relaxing Sunday lay-in fashion." [10] Another editor, Polly Birkbeck, felt the song is "quite a stonker with plinky plonky Elton John piano". [11]
