  ## Critical reception
  
  Music writer and columnist James Masterton described it as a "mainly instrumental track", "using a guitar figure that is startlingly similar to "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Closer examination reveals it is actually a slightly different sequence of chords, but not enough to dull recognition." Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "The strings attached to this dance bopper are direct quotes from Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Sequencers and the "rock da house down" one-line chorus finish it off."
