Critical reception[]

Maria Jimenez from Music & Media described "Electronic Pleasure" as a "spacious electro pop dance number".[1] British magazine Music Week rated it three out of five.[2] Alan Jones added, "It features the same guests, vocalist Gillian Wisdom and rapper Ricardo da Force, but is an edgy Euro-style dance track more like the earlier N-Trance hits."[3] James Hyman from the magazine's RM Dance Update gave it four out of five, writing, "N-Trance must be commended for musical versatility: after screaming rave and obvious yet effective disco pastiche they hit back with high-end Euro that echoes Snap's 'Rhythm Is A Dancer'."[4] Another editor, James Hamilton deemed it a "Gillian Wisdom wailed Euro-style raver".[5]
