Try Me Out

AllMusic editor Jose F. Promis named the song a "catchy Euro hit", and one of the standout tracks on the album.{{cite web|first=Jose F.|last=Promis|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-rhythm-of-the-night-mw0000173848|title=Corona – The Rhythm of the Night|publisher=AllMusic|accessdate=17 February 2020}} Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "One of the leading acts of the ongoing Euro-NRG invasion of the pop mainstream unleashes another sparkler from the album The Rhythm of the Night. Corona is as giddy as an ingenue can be, and she is surrounded by a storm of syncopated beats and rollicking piano lines."{{cite magazine|first=Larry|last=Flick|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/90s/1995/BB-1995-09-02.pdf|title=Single Reviews|magazine=Billboard|date=2 September 1995|accessdate=23 January 2018|author-link=Larry Flick}} Writing for Dotmusic, James Masterton said, "Unlike most production-line Italian dance, Corona singles do tend to have some song substance to them which has no doubt helped their chart performance". He concluded, "Top 10 could not be out of the question for this one either."{{cite web|last=Masterton|first=James|title=Week Ending July 22nd 1995|url=https://chart-watch.uk/archives/1995/week-ending-july-22nd-1995|website=Chart Watch UK|date=16 July 1995|accessdate=23 September 2021|author-link=James Masterton}}

Alan Jones from Music Week commented, "Less immediate than 'The Rhythm of the Night' and 'Baby Baby', Corona's 'Try Me Out' is another slab of unsubtle Nu-NRG, best served by Lee Marrow's mixes. It's not as immediate or commercial as Corona's two big hits, but it's certain to find an instant home in the upper half of the Top 40."{{cite magazine|first= Alan |last= Jones |title= Talking Music |magazine= Music Week |date= 1 July 1995 |page= 26 |accessdate= 10 May 2021 |url= https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/1995/Music-Week-1995-07-01.pdf}} In a retrospective review, Pop Rescue described it as a "Euro dance romp with house pianos and powerful vocals".{{cite web|url=https://poprescue.com/2020/02/07/review-the-rhythm-of-the-night-by-corona-cd-1995/|title=Review: "The Rhythm Of The Night" by Corona (CD, 1995)|publisher=Pop Rescue|date=7 February 2020|accessdate=30 March 2020}} Daisy & Havoc from the Record Mirror Dance Update gave it four out of five, complimenting it as a "catchy song".{{cite magazine|author= Daisy & Havoc |title= Hot Vinyl |magazine= Music Week, in Record Mirror (Dance Update Supplemental Insert) |date= 15 July 1995 |page= 12 |accessdate= 10 May 2021 |url= https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/1995/Music-Week-1995-07-15.pdf}} Another Record Mirror editor, James Hamilton, named it "nasally chanted Italo disco in typical romping 0-131-0bpm Lee Marrow Eurobeat (with some good breaks)".{{cite magazine|first= James |last= Hamilton |title= Dj directory |magazine= Music Week, in Record Mirror (Dance Update Supplemental Insert) |date= 15 July 1995 |page= 15 |accessdate= 10 May 2021 |url= https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/1995/Music-Week-1995-07-15.pdf |author-link= James Hamilton (DJ and journalist)}} In a very positive review for the album, Jordan Paramor from Smash Hits wrote, "Shimmy to 'Try Me Out'.

Red, green and blue rooms appear to be mixed and laid on top of each other, like a Rubik's Cube. The opening and throughout the video, different people are watching a View-Master. At the most, nine cubical rooms are seen at once. They are sliding horizontally, vertical or inclined. Sometimes dancers are performing in these and other times they watches each other, through peepholes between the rooms. At the end all the nine cubes has been solved; top row in blue, middle row in red and bottom row in green.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrChA17AWLc|title=Corona – Try Me Out (Official Music Video)|publisher=YouTube|date=17 April 2014|accessdate=11 October 2019}}
