Critical reception[]

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Led by a cool, contemporary beat, "Stranded" is one 3+1⁄2-minute hook that couldn't sound more inviting as a mature-sounding uptempo cut for the summer. A funked-up, bass-heavy R&B edit should ensure spins at stations that lean to crossover, while the kicking Hothead T' Edit provides a perfect entree for dance-happy outlets."[1] A reviewer from Sunday Mirror commented, "Smart Swede follows up Ain't That Just The Way with another singalong cocktail bar anthem. Nice."[2]

Music video[]

The accompanying music video for "Stranded" was directed by Stuart Gosling[3] and first aired in May 1998. He also directed the music video for "My Side of Town".
