"Don't Let the Feeling Go" became a hit also in other countries, such as Finland, where it peaked at number five, and in Belgium, Ireland, Scotland, Sweden and Switzerland, where the single reached the top 30.

In his weekly UK chart commentary in Dotmusic, James Masterton noted, "With their third single the Nightcrawlers move further and further away from the pure dance they started with and into the realm of the proper pop single, pushing singer John Reid to the fore and producing a track which is danceable but is still enough of a song to make it into mainstream radio programming.

Then push the feeling a little further and surrender to John Reid's third single in 1994, on which he goes back to Sylvester and Patrick Cowleys' kind of disco adapted to producer Kinchen's sound."

"[3] A reviewer from Music Week gave it three out of five, adding that the singer "keeps to the formula which has provided two hits but, although the club and dub mixes are powerful floorfillers, it's unlikely to win much favour with radio programmers.

"[4] James Hamilton from the RM Dance Update deemed it "another staccato stutterer, except this time also coherently chorused and whined".
