Critical reception

edit

Music Week gave the album 4 out of 5, writing, "Olga De Souza belts out a collection of songs from hedonistic heaven. The success of the title track and follow-up single, "Baby Baby", bode well for this superior dance album."[6] NME ranked it eight out of ten, commenting, "Once more the Spagna Brothers, I and G, and their mate F Bontempi — who gave us "Ride On Time" — rock out with new singer Corona. This is all you ever wanted — other people's song titles ("Don't Go Breaking My Heart", the title track) over a belting dance beat. Immaculate."[3]
