Critical reception
Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "The country of origin firmly stamped on it means a strong recommendation for top flight Euro product. "Set the World On Fire" was a summer hit in Sweden; "This Is the Way" is the current number 1. Long-haired E-Type is surrounded by the proverbial female backup singer(s), but isn't pretending to be a black rapper. With that weird half singing/half speaking voice, he's rather like the Troggs' Reg Presley branching out to dance. The producer's name is a guarantee for Pop sense. Almost blindfolded one can select three more singles: the ragga track "So Dem Come", the shamelessly Euro number "Fight Them Back" and the Oriental-flavoured reggae "When Religion Comes To Town"."[1]
