Ultra Flava

Larry Flick from Billboard declared "Ultra Flava" as a "diamond-hard house gem".{{cite magazine|first=Larry|last=Flick|title=Dance Trax: Rejuvenating With Dick Clark; Our House On Film|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/90s/1996/BB-1996-01-20.pdf|magazine=Billboard|date=1996-01-20|page=23|accessdate=2022-11-16|author-link=Larry Flick}} On the single review, he wrote, "Mega-hot U.K. production/songwriting team is primed to enjoy matching stateside success with this, a rousing instrumental anthem influenced by legendary disco bands like the SalSoul Orchestra. Partners Pete Heller and Terry Farley prove adept at crafting taut pop hooks while maintaining a credible deep-house edge. A summertime club favorite on import, the domestic pressing of "Ultra Flava" boasts refreshing new interpretations by Mousse T., Ralphi Rosario, Boris Dlugosch, and DJ Sneak. A snug radio edit could easily result in a pop/crossover smash à la Robert Miles' "Children".{{cite magazine|first=Larry|last=Flick|url=http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Billboard/90s/1996/BB-1996-11-30.pdf|title=New & Noteworthy|magazine=Billboard|date=1996-11-30|accessdate=2018-01-23|author-link=Larry Flick}} James Hamilton from Music Week's RM Dance Update described it as an "infectious Robin S-ishly plopped progressive wriggly percussion groove".{{cite magazine|first= James |last= Hamilton |title= Dj directory |magazine= Music Week, in Record Mirror (Dance Update Supplemental Insert) |date= 1996-02-17 |page= 15 |accessdate= 2021-05-27 |url= https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/1996/Music-Week-1996-02-17.pdf |author-link= James Hamilton (DJ and journalist)}}
