Critical reception
In 1992, Larry Flick from Billboard magazine noted that the "pop-juiced hip-houser" was first heard on Technotronic's Pump Up the Jam album in 1989. He wrote, "Resurrection via a Revlon TV commercial has sparked heavy pop radio interest. Ya Kid K's rhymes are appropriately cute'n'clever, and the beats and melody are strong enough to withstand heavy competition."[1] BuzzFeed ranked it number 35 in their list of "The 101 Greatest Dance Songs of the '90s" in 2017.[4] Harry Sumrall from Knight Ridder felt it has "the female-group sound of the '60s with a house update".[5] Diana Valois from The Morning Call described it as "a sunny blend of subtle African world beat and house music".[2]
