Critical reception



Swedish newspaper 'Aftonbladet' described the song as "dreamy".'Aftonbladet'. 1991-07-04. Larry Flick from 'Billboard' wrote, "Pop-flavored dance nugget by Euro-trio has already scored with import-conscious folks. Shuffling hip-hop groove foundation offers sturdy support for mantra-like vocals and an infectious, radio-ready hook." Andy Kastanas from 'The Charlotte Observer' called it "a down tempo Eurobeat marvel that's somewhat reminiscent of the Imagination classic "Just an Illusion" with steamy French female vocals that'll soften you up for the kill."Kastanas, Andy (1991-08-14). "Sounds of Progress". p. 10. 'The Charlotte Observer'. 'Music & Media' commented, "Army Of Lovers combine some pretty heavy grooves with sultry vocals by singer La Camilla, along with Arabian chants. The record has that exotic something extra which makes a song worthwhile. Yet another strong, innovative track from Scandinavia."
