Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that the song "is a direct descendent of "Gonna Make You Sweat", stating that "this pleasing track has all of the rousing gospel elements required to fill dancefloors".{{cite magazine|first= Larry |last= Flick |title= Dance Trax: Get A Hold Of Zoo Experience; i Vision Song Looks Like A Winner |magazine= Billboard |date= 22 August 1992 |page= 26 |accessdate= 8 October 2020 |url= https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-Billboard/90s/1992/Billboard-1992-08-22.pdf |author-link= Larry Flick}} He added that "this jam is etched with more of a streetwise vibe. Rapper Q-Unique runs lyrical rings around the now-departed Freedom Williams, and Deborah Cooper proves to be a well-seasoned belter."{{cite magazine|first= Larry |last= Flick |title= Single Reviews |magazine= Billboard |date= 25 July 1992 |page= 66 |accessdate= 25 October 2020 |url= https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-Billboard/90s/1992/Billboard-1992-07-25.pdf |author-link= Larry Flick}} John Martinucci from the Gavin Report commented, "Though the Music Factory has had personnel changes, the technical aspects of the group don't miss a beat. Rapper Q-Unique and vocalist Deborah Cooper sound comfortable in their new surroundings".{{cite magazine|first= John |last= Martinucci |title= Urban: New Releases |magazine= Gavin Report |date= July 24, 1992 |page= 21 |accessdate= October 17, 2020 |url= https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Gavin-Report/90/92/Gavin-1992-07-24.pdf}}
