Critical reception
Alan Jones from 'Music Week' commented, "The dance beat, the balearic guitar work, the Gregorian backing vocals it has to be No Mercy's Where Do You Go, but it's not. It's their identikit follow-up Please Don't Go, which includes all the elements of their long-running debut hit bolted on to a tune which doesn't quite measure up."
