[1] Scottish newspaper Aberdeen Evening Express described "Coco Jamboo" as "Ace of Base-style Euro-pop that has already done the business on the continent.

With its balmy bassline and spirited chorus, this single offers a way-familiar (but quite pleasant) pop/dancehall sound à la Ace of Base, but with a rugged hip-hop edge.

The blend of wispy female vocals and throaty male rapping contributes to making this an easy programming bet.

"[3] A reviewer from Daily Record called it an "anonymous club 18 to 30s style anthem [that is] enjoying predictable summer success.

"[4] Music Week rated the song four out of five, adding, "We've loved this Ace Of Base-style summertime nursery rhyme ever since we heard it in Germany.

It was also a top-five hit in Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Norway, as well as on the Eurochart Hot 100, where the single reached number four in July 1996.

During the 1996 holiday season, a Christmas-themed version of "Coco Jamboo" was released by the band, featuring new lyrics and festive instruments.
