  ## Critical reception
  
  Pop Rescue felt that "this is certainly a funky sounding song and somewhat different from the album’s lead single". Phil Cheeseman from Record Mirror wrote, "It's got a rolling beat, the odd burst of saxophone, a rap halfway through and most important of all, those crowd noises to kick it off. Another remix of 'Devotion'? Well, in a way. 'Just A Groove' is the brand new single from Nomad, who evidently figured that if a formula's good enough for one hit it'll do for two. Showing up main man Damon Rochefort's love of old disco with a cruising string backbone and a chorus that, infuriatingly, not one of us here at Record Mirror Towers can successfully trace back to the '70s disco track it was influenced by. 'Just A Groove' has enough sass to follow its predecessor. But, Sharon Dee Clarke's vocal and its catchy chart appeal notwithstanding, Nomad will, for better or worse, forever be judged on that anthem."
