Critical reception.
According to James Masterton, "Requiem " is "the quintessential bubblegum Euro-hit, complete with bouncing bassline, a semi-rapped verse and the inevitable multi-tracked chorus". Retrospectively, in a 2015 review of the parent album, the Pop Rescue website considered "Requiem" "a wonderful dancey, uplifting song", with "catchy" verses composed of a "throbbing synth bass", the repeated sentence "Never gonna get enough" and spoken words, a feature recalling Pet Shop Boys.
