Critical reception[]
Alan Jones from Music Week wrote, "Less than five minute long, but pressed at 33 rpm on seven-inch, Glo's latest is another take straight out of the Mambo Kings school of Latin American music. As such, its appeal is strictly limited, and it won't be one of her biggest hits."[2]
