Critical reception

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "Strike unveil a new single and new sound this week with 'I Have Peace', on U.K. label Fresh. This instantly appealing song is a male-voiced rap track, featuring light piano and a female sung chorus. A highly melodic and gospel influenced singalong number."[1] A reviewer from Music Week gave the song a score of four out of five, adding, "Not as instant as their previous released, this represents Strike's most distinctive single yet, moving from a dreamy piano opening into a laidback, rap/gospel-influenced dance groove."[2]
