Critical reception
J.D. Considine from 'The Baltimore Sun' noted how the guitar-hook "evokes" "Sunshine of Your Love" on "Found a Cure".Considine, J.D. "No place to be somebody, Her music tops that of Madonna and Janet Jackson on the dance charts. She's a superstar across the Atlantic. Meet Ultra Nate: the Baltimore diva you never heard of.". 'The Baltimore Sun'. May 10, 1998. Larry Flick from 'Billboard' wrote, "It's not easy to follow a single like "Free," which is easily among the most revered dance singles of the last five years. Nat fearlessly faces the challenge with a jam that smartly doesn't aim to duplicate the tone of her now-classic hit. Instead, she and collaborators Mood II Swing and Danny Madden have cooked up a tune that has an infectious pop feel and a sturdy, club-credible house groove. The diva is in fine voice here and is matched by a muscular bassline and keyboard/guitar interplay that oozes with funk flavor. Not only an excellent way of introducing Nat's long-awaited new album, "'Situation Critical'", "Found a Cure" positions her for another lengthy reign atop many a DJ's playlist." A reviewer from 'Sunday Mirror' commented, "Miss Nate proves there's more than Free in her locker with a pure floorfiller. A Gloria Gaynor for the Millennium."'Sunday Mirror'. April 5, 1998. p. 43.
Music video
A music video was produced to promote the single, directed by American film director Charles Stone III.
