The song peaked at #39 on the UK Singles Chart, six places higher than "Nice and Lovely".

"[1] Dele Fadele from NME wrote, "The lecherous and leering twist in Shaggy's voice is still present and correct as he turns his mind to matters sexual.

Ghostly, multi-layered harmonies percolate over a rhythm that's closer to digital excavations of Studio One than minimalistic, abrupt raggamuffin beats.

"[2] Sylvia Patterson of Smash Hits was less enthustiastic, rating it two out of five and calling it a "daft ragga nursery rhyme".

[3] A music video for the song was premiered in September 1993 and, in 2009, was made available via Shaggy's official VEVO account.
