Critical reception

Alex Henderson from AllMusic felt that Dennis is "warm and convincing on such sleek and infectious dance-floor fare", as "Everybody Move". Larry Flick from Billboard magazine wrote, "After the soft and pleasing 'Too Many Walls', Dennis returns to her dance music|dance] roots for an instantly contagious pop/house twirler. Already racking up club adds, fourth shot from hit-packed Move to This debut album sounds like another sure-fire multiformat smash." Marc Andrews from Smash Hits noted that here, the singer "returns to more familiar ground with this dance stormer a la 'Vogue'. And, good news ahoy, it seems certain to provide Cathy from Norwich with the fifth hit from her five-hits-from-the-one-LP".
