Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Three years after C+C Music Factory brought dance music to the top of pop playlists with "Gonna Make You Sweat", the groundbreaking act returns with a ragga/hip hop anthem that explodes with highly charged vocal performances by Martha Wash, Zelma Davis, and new lineup addition Trilogy. They rap, vamp, belt, and chant like they're having quite the party, while producers Clivilles and Cole surround them with a slick and insinuating groove that is padded with ear-pleasing synth lines." He added, "Factor in a killer hook and a memorable refrain, and you have a single equipped with the muscle to push the act up the charts once again. From the forthcoming album "Anything Goes!"."[1] Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "When was the last C&C hit? In other words, high time for a new one. Meanwhile tastes have changed and the producers haven't been deaf to Snoop Doggy Dogg's P-funk/rap and the ragga effect."[2] Brad Beatnik from Music Week's RM Dance Update said it "is by far the best track on a rather patchy new album". He noted further that "the cool funky groove sampled from Nice & Smooth's 'Hip Hop Junkies' is held together by superb diva vocals from Martha Wash and Zelma Davis."[3]
