Critical reception
British magazine Music Week gave the 1995 version of the song four out of five, adding, "Wildchild's passion for classic electro and hip hop has been put to good use, jumbling Public Enemy-influenced repetitive sounds and fresh house beats." In 1997, they gave the '98 remix five out of five, writing that "Norman Cook's infectious mix—along with house and breakbeat mixes from Stretch & Vern and Urban Takeover—should bring it even greater chart success this time around." Andrew Diprose from Smash Hits gave the original version three out of five, saying, "A memorable—if repetitive—drum-and-bass rap/house track that has been huge club-wise for the past year and will now be a big chart hit. Pretty good, but the sort of record you'll get fed-up of after three listens."Track listing
