'Set the World On Fire' was a summer hit in Sweden; 'This Is the Way' is the current number 1. Long-haired E-Type is surrounded by the proverbial female backup singer(s), but isn't pretending to be a black rapper. With that weird half singing/half speaking voice, he's rather like the Troggs' Reg Presley branching out to dance. The producer's name is a guarantee for Pop sense. Almost blindfolded one can select three more singles: the ragga track 'So Dem Come', the shamelessly Euro number 'Fight Them Back' and the Oriental-flavoured reggae 'When Religion Comes To Town'."<ref name="music&media">{{cite magazine|first= |last= |title= New Releases: Albums |magazine= Music & Media |date= 3 December 1994 |page= 8 |accessdate= 30 August 2021 |url= https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-and-Media/90s/1994/MM-1994-12-03.pdf}}</ref>
