Tease Me (Chaka Demus & Pliers song)

Larry Flick from Billboard magazine wrote, "Leave it to this savvy duo to find a different route for its pop-drenched reggae attitude. Hip-shaking staccato beats are prominent in an arrangement of loopy horns and playful vocals. In its original form, this bright and sunny tune will breathe fresh air into any station it graces."^[2] In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton noted, "Latest ragga hit to come out of nowhere is this one. From the Shabba Ranks school of mellow laidback dancehall it makes a startling debut."^[3] Ian McCann from NME said, "Usual stuff about dancing and fun, and maybe hampered radio-wise by Chaka reaching a climax in the first verse. But a wonderful record, as magical as several ducks flying over in the twilight, and a hit as big as a planet. Pluto, perhaps."^[4]

Neil Spencer from The Observer complimented the song as "itchy".^[5] Brad Beatnik from the Record Mirror Dance Update commented, "The waves caused by Shaggy and this duo's previous hit "Murder She Wrote" should make this a surefire crossover hit. Its sparse rhythm and chugging chorus will make it irresistible on the floor."^[6] Another Record Mirror editor, James Hamilton, described it as "deceptively fast mid-Sixties ska sample based crooning and toasting bouncy light cool reggae breeze".^[7] Siân Pattenden from Smash Hits gave "Tease Me" three out of five, noting that "this has a "backbeat" that's something else and a gloppy Indian drum which sets it apart. Music you go down to the wilderness of the country to."^[8]
