Critical reception
William Cooper from AllMusic named "When You Made the Mountain" a "strong" track. [3] Larry Flick from Billboard magazine described it as a "jaunty, futuristic anthem that has a more fully realized song structure and an assured vocal." He added, "A dancefloor smash that should get close listen from radio pundits." [4] Linda Ryan from the Gavin Report commented, "As with their 1992 hit, 'It's a Fine Day', Opus III manage to convincingly toe the line between unabashed pop and club-inspired dance music. Not an easy task to pull off these days, but [...] 'When You Made the Mountain' comes through with flying colors." [5] Another GR editor, Dave Sholin, added, "Listening to lead singer Kirsty Hawkshaw and the beat that drives this song, it's possible one might get hypnotized." [6] Jennifer Nine from Melody Maker wrote, "Not unmemorable shimmery chart dance pop, with a good beat, witchy girl vocal, and zoomy synths and stuff." [1] Music Week's RM Dance Update declared it as "summery pop-house". [7] John Kilgo from The Network Forty described it as a "uptempo techno beat with spice." [2]
