Critical reception

A reviewer from Music & Media commented, "Hopping from club to club and from station to station, this bouncy tune will be omnipresent. A bit reminiscent of Incognito's "Always There", which probably explains why there's no escaping."[1] In 1994, the magazine's Robbert Tilli wrote, "In the Asterix cartoons, all villagers put parsley in their ears when the dreadful bard starts singing. Sometimes it seems like radio programmers do the same when a really good dance song comes along. One of the biggest misses last year was Rob 'N' Raz's sing-along groover "Clubhopping", which deserved a better destiny than the stations' riling cabinets."[2]
