One remix was included in the American live-action/animated black comedy fantasy film Cool World and its accompanying soundtrack release in July 1992.

[6] In the US, the single reached number 5 on the Billboard Hot Dance Breakouts Maxi-Singles Sales chart in October 1992.

"[12] Andrew Smith of Melody Maker remarked, "Last year, the Thompson Twins fooled the DJs when they scored a dance hit under a pseudonym.

"[13] Christian Jakubasczek of the German magazine Frontpage gave the single a three out of five star rating and described the song as "a very okay, driving, not necessarily innovative but acceptable house number".

The reviewer felt the song was an "unforeseen comeback" for the Thompson Twins, although they considered "only the 'Play With Me' vocal" to serve as a reminder of the band's former pop work.

He wrote, "Thanks to ethereal vocals by Alannah Currie and creative postproduction by Sinistra, the track smokes with potential at both rave and pop/house levels."
