Reception
[edit | edit source]Nick Jarvis from in the Mix said "From the gospel intro to the tribal conga drums, driving bassline and diva vocals exploring themes of "love on the dancefloor", 'Just the Thing' takes a swathe of deep house and disco tropes and turns them into an indelible hands-in-the-air jam. What a hook, and what a voice; Paul Mac's most commercially successful single is an all-time funky house belter that's probably still getting thrashed on pub jukeboxes in regional towns".[1]
