The song charted inside the top 10 in several countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and Romania.

Nadia Ali was working in the New York offices of Versace, when a co-worker introduced her to producer Markus Moser, who was looking for a female singer to collaborate on some of his productions for a girl group.

According to John Bush at AllMusic, the song "is pure pop, in a dance sense: a post-trance version of vocoder-ized disco, complete with modulating Moroder bassline, an evocative female vocal, and an unmissable hook repeated endlessly.

Steward Mason from the same publication highlighted the song as an album standout, saying "The gathered single sides, "Kiss You," "[Rapture]," "Smooth," and "At the End," are here in new and more pop-oriented mixes that show off not only Moser's knack for melody, but also the duo's key asset: singer [Nadia Ali]'s alluring purr of a voice.

The song peaked inside the top 40 in countries including the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Finland and Denmark.

Nadia Ali re-released the song as a single from her remix compilation Queen of Clubs Trilogy.

[63] She said she also chose to re-release the track because she wanted to introduce it to a new generation of music listeners who were not familiar with the original iiO version.

[64] The music video for "Rapture" was shot in December 2010 in Sacramento, California and directed by Brando Neverland.
