Critical reception

Alan Jones from Music Week commented, "The dance beat, the Balearic guitar work, the Gregorian backing vocals — it has to be No Mercy's Where Do You Go, but it's not. It's their identikit follow-up Please Don't Go, which includes all the elements of their long-running debut hit bolted onto a tune which doesn't quite measure up."[2]
