Critical reception
In 1992, Larry Flick from 'Billboard' wrote that the "pop-juiced hip-houser was first heard on Technotronic's ' 'Pump Up the Jam' ' album a couple of years ago. Resurrection via a Revlon TV commercial has sparked heavy pop radio interest. Ya Kid K's rhymes are appropriately cute'n'clever, and the beats and melody are strong enough to withstand heavy competition." 'BuzzFeed' placed it at number 35 in their list of "The 101 Greatest Dance Songs of the '90s" in 2017. Harry Sumrall from 'Knight Ridder' said it has "the female-group sound of the '60s with a house update". Diana Valois from 'The Morning Call' described it as "a sunny blend of subtle African world beat and house music".Valois, Diana (1990-01-13). "Records". p. A66. 'The Morning Call'. 'Pop Rescue' deemed it "a fairly mid-tempo bouncy track", adding that Ya Kid K's vocals and lyrics "lack the power and catchiness of the earlier songs."
