Critical reception

Billboard wrote about the song: "Wildly popular British rave act previews its upcoming U.S. sophomore set, "Boss Drum," with an NRGetic workout that is splashed with acidic keyboard lines and pouty female vamping."
Smash Hits gave it 5 out of 5, noting: "L.S.I.? Love, Sex, Intelligence if you're interested. And you will be, 'cos, like Move Any Mountain, this is a corkin' Hi-NRG anthem that snaps at your heels like an annoying Yorkshire Terrier and demands you dance. Odd folk but they know a cuffin' good groove when it tweaks their ear-lobes."
