Dyce has said "My idea for Fantasy was to try to develop an original song on top of hard beats: something you could sing along to as you were raving.

Floyd Dyce of Baby D had been in a jazz, funk and soul band in the early 80's that had been working with Jamaican–English record producer Phil Fearon.

[7] Dyce wrote the song as a response to the clubs he was frequenting at the time, where much of the music they played was sample-heavy.

Hip hop-induced break beats percolate beneath aggressive, rave-ish keyboards while Baby D purrs and pouts like a peppy pop ingenue.

"[9] Tom Ewing of Freaky Trigger called the song "uplifting, always ready to drop in a big hook, keeping the rushy spirit of UK house alive."

"[10] In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton said that "Let Me Be Your Fantasy" "is the closest thing the underground dance scene has to a long lost classic.

[12] Maria Jimenez from Music & Media declared it as a "techno houser", adding, "Don't miss the beat".

[13] Alan Jones from Music Week rated the song four out of five, adding, "Somewhere between house, garage and techno, it's sure to score.

[15] James Hamilton from the Record Mirror Dance Update described it as a "plaintive girl wailed galloper", with its "episodic spurting stop/start 0-134.8-0bpm".

42 in its "100 Greatest Dance Singles of All Time" list, adding, "It took almost three years for "Let Me Be Your Fantasy" to worm its way into the British public's affections, to shift from hardcore anthem to chart topping smash.

"Let Me Be Your Fantasy" - a sneaky paen to ecstasy's 'warm embrace' disguised as a love song - was perhaps the most commercial tune that the hardcore scene ever produced.

Massive pianos, crunching breaks and a ravealong chorus meant its appeal spread wider than white gloved Vicks sniffers.

76 in their list of "The 100 Greatest UK No 1s", writing: "The lyrics are essentially a QVC infomercial for the eroto-psychedelic effects of ecstasy – 'Lotions of love flow through your hands / See visions, colours every day' – and the music is shamelessly designed to intensify drug experiences.

The junglist breakbeats keep the energy high, while the big piano chords and yearning vocals are like a head massage from some bloke you just met but nevertheless now feel a deeper kinship with than your immediate family.

"[31]In 2022, Classic Pop ranked "Let Me Be Your Fantasy" number seven in their list of the top 40 dance tracks from the 90's, noting "a mammoth piano hook that's hard to escape from".
