It also peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart on re-release in 1994 and number 59 in the Billboard Hot 100. "She Got That Vibe" was later picked on R.

Critical reception

Emma Cochrane from Smash Hits gave "She's Got That Vibe" three out of five, noting that Kelly "has wisely dropped the sexist lyrics of his latest release, "Summer Bunnies", and instead gone for a swingbeaty kind of groove. However, it's just all a bit too smooth."[4]
