As for other Culture Beat singles, a CD maxi entirely composed of remixes was added among the available media a short time after.

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Culture Beat, one of the more enduring acts from rave/NRG, returns with "Inside Out", a jumpy li'l ditty on 550 Music.

The techno flavor of the act's past recordings remains mildly intact, though the arrangements lean more toward soft keyboards and a fluffy disco context.

A cuddly track chugging along at moderate speed combines with a sonorous male rap that makes it a sure EHR hit.

"[3] James Hamilton from Music Week's RM Dance Update described the song as a "bland slick Euro throbber".
