Co-written by bandmembers Ray Slijngaard and Anita Dels, it was a Top 10 hit in at least six countries, as well as on the Eurochart Hot 100, where the song reached number ten. It also features a reference to "That's the Way Love Goes" by Janet Jackson. Critical reception Music writer James Masterton commented in his weekly UK chart commentary, "What a nuisance. Here I am all set to launch an account of a new 2 Unlimited single with a witty precis of the melodic and formulaic similarity to everything else they have ever released and what happens? They go and release a track that sounds completely different to all the others! Joking aside, it is absolutely true, No One being the closest they will probably ever get to a conventional pop song and more deservedly a smash hit than some of their recent output. It could well end up their third Top 10 hit of the year and is now their 11th consecutive Top 20 hit." Pan-European magazine 'Music & Media' wrote, "It's their first reggae attempt, and no one has blended it with Euro dance so seamlessly before." Alan Jones from 'Music Week' rated the song four out of five, adding that "this is a good deal slower than usual, but still relies on the he-rap, she-sing template. Likely to garner less club support but may attract some first-time supporters." James Hamilton from the magazine's 'RM' Dance Update deemed it a "rapped (mentioning Janet Jackson!), cooed and organ wheezed attractive jaunty skipper". Pop Rescue said it "is probably the most mellow of their singles", adding that "it definitely feels like [a] light, summer track". Chart performance The release scored chart success in many European countries, peaking at number two in the Netherlands, number three in Belgium, number six in Finland and number ten in Denmark and Spain. In the United Kingdom, it was their least successful release to date, hitting number 17 in its first week at the UK Singles Chart on September 25, 1994. Additionally, the single was a Top 20 hit also in Austria, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Scotland, Sweden and Switzerland. On the Eurochart Hot 100, it hit number ten, while reaching number six on MTV's European Top 20. Outside Europe, "No One" was a big hit in Israel, where it peaked at number eight, while in Australia, the single went to number 70.
