Critical reception
Juha Soininen wrote in his 2020 book, Move Your Body (2 The 90s): Unlimited Eurodance, that "Find Another Way" "was weirdy perky and a little bit annoying, so it didn't fit to his more somber style".[1] James Hamilton from British magazine Music Week's RM Dance Update described it as a "catchy 'oh oh oh oh' girl warbled and 'pompin' pompin'' guy rapped ridiculously frantic 158.8bpm fierce cheesy Euro flier".[2]
