Critical reception
[edit | edit source]Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "She sings she's a slave in chains. Eurohouse is becoming kinky business with this new single by German submarinehitmachine. The up-tempo beats refrain from hardcore rave frenzy and the melody hooks are definitely catchy."[2]
