Critical reception
On the 1993 release as "Saturday Night Party", Andy Beevers from 'Music Week' stated, "It kicks off in fine style with an irrepressibly upbeat house track gleaned from the Italian UMM label." James Hamilton from the magazine's 'RM' Dance Update described it as a ""tonight it's party time" and "read my lips" prodded, synth stabbed jauntily plinking Italo leaper". On the 1996 version, Pan-European magazine 'Music & Media' commented, "Some of those catchy Italo tunes are just irresistible. After one play you can't get them out of your head and this is definitely one. Originally made by Italian producers, and now remixed by the Dutch BT&T-production-team, this single contains two excellent radio edits."
