Bill Coleman fromBillboardcommented, "From the Technotronic stable comes the jammin' club offering" Spin That Wheel "by Hi Tek 3 featuring Technotronic's Ya Kid K on lead vocal. The energy that this track emanates is amazing and can't help but heat up a dancefloor. It's mixed by Jo Bogaert; we prefer the" Swing That Beat "version and" bass-a-pella "to those mixes sporting the weathered" whoa yeah "hook. Don't miss..."[7]
