Critical reception

British magazine Music Week described the song as a "pop-rap galloper".[1] David Quantick from NME wrote, "I wish I was called Captain Hollywood. This is shamelessly happy Euro pop rap and keeps threatening to turn into Modern Romance's 'The Best Years of Our Lives'. Ay ay ay ay, it's a new romance. Ay ay ay ay, it makes me want to dance."[2] Miranda Sawyer from Smash Hits concluded, "Still this tune is good in an annoyingly sparkly-eyed, keep fit sort of way."[3]
