Reception

Critical response

Ben Hogwood of musicOMH was favorable of the song, saying that "Flashdance" has given Deep Dish "a huge worldwide club hit, its full-bodied hook picked up by many a DJ". Hogwood named it the most commercial track on the album, which according to him "loosely follows the lead of its predecessor, teaming moody instrumentals with club based vocal tracks".[1]

The remix "Flashdance (Guetta & Garraud F*** Me I'm Famous Remix)" was nominated to the Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical.[2]

Chart performance

For the chart issue dated October 9, 2004, "Flashdance" debuted at number three on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Deep Dish's first and only single to reach the top ten to date.[3] It was the second-highest entry for that week, behind "I Hope You Dance" by Ronan Keating.[4] "Flashdance" peaked at number 14 on the Australian Singles Chart and was certified Gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association, denoting shipments of 35,000 copies.[5][6]
