recorded. It's fun and can even be played by the few who avoided the first single, 'Turn the Beat Around'." Chuck Campbell from Knoxville News Sentinel viewed it as "a charismatic, twisting dance song". Alan Jones from Music Week said, "It is undoubtedly a great song and Gloria gives it her all, though the regular mix's uninspiring arrangement lets it down a little." John Kilgo from The Network Forty wrote that "it's hard to believe that it's been two decades since Carl Carlton bounced onto the Top 40 scene with this Top-10 tune. Now Estefan sprinkles her "Miami" spice on the classic, updating the dance number with a '90s sound." A reviewer from People Magazine described it as a "technofied take". Phil Shanklin of ReviewsRevues felt the singer "reactivates the track into a disco classic and it is so uplifting that I think her version is the best of all of them." Music video The accompanying music video for "Everlasting Love" was shot at the Sunset Studios in Hollywood, California. Estefan, pregnant with her second child at the time, could not appear in the video. The production team, which included co-directors Tony Minnelli and Paul Lynde (not related to the actor), along with Estefan, decided to give the video a twist. They selected some of the best drag talent from West Hollywood, California to star in the video. Five appeared as Gloria Estefan, each representing a different stage in Estefan's career. Some notable video cast members include female impersonator Julian Viva, Hollywood Super Club Kids, The Fabulous Wonder Twins, and drag performers Venus D-Lite and Sutan Amrull aka Raja. The latter two later appeared in season 3 of Logo's series RuPaul's Drag Race, in which Sutan Amrull was crowned the winner. Cyndi Lauper has insinuated that the idea of featuring drag performers in the clip was inspired by her own video "Hey Now (Girls Just Want to Have Fun)" released a few months earlier. Gloria Estefan went on to receive an award for the Dance Clip of the Year at the Billboard Music Video Awards in November 1995. The video was so well received worldwide that Estefan decided to add cast members Julian Viva and Willie E. to her Evolution World Tour.
