Critical reception[edit]
The Press wrote that "these are joyous songs that will please the fans, who will delight in the remake of 'Endicott' and the title track 'Too Cool To Conga'."[6] The Washington Post wrote that "the finger-snapping dance tunes are as irresistible as ever, even if they arrive too late to take advantage of the late-'90s swing revival."[5]
