Critical reception
Upon the release of the single, pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "Swingbeat has still not really been accepted in Europe, maybe because the rhythm is often more important than the melody. The chorus to this track is the exception. It could do the trick."[1]James Hamilton from the Record Mirror Dance Update named it a "huskily wailed funky strong jackswing roller" in his weekly dance column.[2]
