Critical reception



AllMusic editor Jose F. Promis declared the song as "anthemic" and added further that it "melded house, hip-hop, and rock." Larry Flick from 'Billboard' called it an "frenetic hip-hop anthem, covered with white-hot metal guitar riffs and rapid-fire rhyming by Freedom Williams." Marisa Fox from 'Entertainment Weekly' described it as a "jumpy track complete with an electric-guitar intro." Pan-European magazine 'Music & Media' commented, "Gonna make you sweat again. Their grooves are just right. Presenting Freedom Williams and Zelma Davis, C+C will be the chartbusters of 1991." James Hamilton from 'Music Week' called the track a "lurching jitterer". A reviewer from 'People Magazine' wrote that it is "tough funk, like a bastard child of Eddie Van Halen and the Staple Singers. Throughout, synthesizer bullets shoot at your feet until you dance." Jack Barron from 'Record Mirror' noted that Williams "jabs his rap through this current club favourite with all the aplomb of a pit bull greeting a poodle", adding that it is "replete with every kind of dance hook".
