it as a "euro-splashed ditty" with "an infectious li'l hook and a solid, old-school disco bassline ... its execution makes it pop with a refreshing energy". Another editor, Annabel Ross, called the song "sublime in its simplicity" and regarded it as one of the best dance songs of all time. Bruce Tantum from DJ Mag wrote that the song "doesn't do much of anything, really, nor does it have to. It exists in a state of pleasure-giving perfection." In 2001, Mixmag named "Music Sounds Better with you" the 11th greatest dance song of all time, and in 2013 named it the sixth greatest. In 2018, Mixmag included it in their list of the 30-time "biggest vocal house anthems". Pitchfork ranked it the 46th best song of the 90s, and included it in The Pitchfork 500, a book compiling the greatest songs from 1977 to 2008. In 2011, Slant Magazine named it the 99th best single of the 90s, and 2012 Porcys ranked it the greatest. In 2017, BuzzFeed named it the 72nd greatest dance song of the 90s. In 2022, Pitchfork named "Music Sounds Better with You" one of the best house tracks of the 90s, while Rolling Stone named it the 73rd greatest dance song of all time. Legacy According to Billboard, after the success of "Music Sounds Better with You", Virgin offered Bangalter $3 million to produce a Stardust album. The group created five or six demos, but abandoned them. In 2012, Braxe said there were no plans to release the demos, saying it gave "Music Sounds Better with you" a "certain magic and mystery". Apart from their performance at Rex Club, Stardust performed only once, in a 30-minute set at the Borealis festival in Montpellier, France. Diamond and Braxe resumed their solo careers; Diamond said he found it difficult to return to his own style of music after Stardust, and his record company Sony pressured him to release more music like "Music Sounds Better with You". Bangalter continued to release music as Daft Punk with his partner Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo. Daft Punk performed a mashup of "Music Sounds Better with You" and their 2000 single "One More Time" on their 2006/2007 tour; a performance was included on the bonus disc of the live album Alive 2007. Pitchfork described it as "a combination so 'holy shit' ecstatic it would seem downright cocky if it wasn't so blissful". In
