Critical reception edit
J.D. Considine from The Baltimore Sun viewed the song as a "sturdy, bass-thumping number".[2] Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "Hey Mr. DJ get into the vibe of the most attractive new jill swing duo, pronounced "Jah-Nay." Extra swing is added by a sample from George Benson's jazz guitar lick on "Love X Love"." PD Jon Kristiansen by Danish radio VLRNejle said, "It's music in today's vibe. If DJs are aware of it, it could become a major hit."[3]
