KROQ included "Call My Name" in its "Top 106.7 Songs of 1991". In a retrospective article, AllMusic critic Dave Thompson wrote of the track's "musical splendor", calling it a "dance-fired extravaganza with a melody that's as memorable as the beats are incendiary."[https://www.allmusic.com/song/call-my-name-mt0028760886 "Call My Name" review] at AllMusic
