Critical reception

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "The country of origin firmly stamped on it means a strong recommendation for top flight Euro product. 'Set the [World on Fire (E-Type song)|Set the World On Fire]' was a summer hit in Sweden; 'This Is the Way' is the current number 1. Long-haired E-Type is surrounded by the proverbial female backup singer, but isn't pretending to be a black rapper. With that weird half singing/half speaking voice, he's rather like the Troggs' Reg Presley branching out to dance music|dance]. The producer's name is a guarantee for Pop sense. Almost blindfolded one can select three more singles: the ragga track 'So Dem Come', the shamelessly Euro number 'Fight Them Back' and the Oriental-flavoured reggae 'When Religion Comes To Town'."
