Critical reception
Larry Flick from 'Billboard' wrote, "Led by a cool, contemporary beat, "Stranded" is one -minute hook that couldn't sound more inviting as a mature-sounding uptempo cut for the summer. A funked-up, bass-heavy R&B edit should ensure spins at stations that lean to crossover, while the kicking Hothead T' Edit provides a perfect entree for dance-happy outlets." Adrian Thrills from 'Daily Mail' descrbed it as "sassy", noting that it's "mixing the soulful swagger of Donna Summer with a flapper-girl elegance reminiscent of the Pointer Sisters".Thrills, Adrian (July 17, 1998). "Spirited Crows soar ever higher; It's Friday! Music!". 'Daily Mail'. A reviewer from 'Sunday Mirror' commented, "Smart Swede follows up Ain't That Just The Way with another singalong cocktail bar anthem. Nice."'Sunday Mirror'. May 10, 1998. page 43. Paul Sexton from 'The Times' viewed it as "another piece of swaying, summer-weight soul that commercial radio programmers can't get enough of."Sexton, Paul (July 18, 1998). "New Album Releases; Music". 'The Times'.
