Andy Beevers from Music Week gave the song four out of five. He wrote, "This irritating house hoe-down from Italy is threatening to be the next Doop. It has a Western flavour similar to The Grid's Banjo and Bravado's Harmonica Man but is far more cheesy. It was initially snapped up for UK releases by 3-Beat, although it has been sub-licensed to ffrr to make the most of its chart potential."[3] James Hamilton from the Record Mirror Dance Update deemed it a "madly happy fiddle and banjo prodded galloping square dance/disco hybrid".[4]
