blend", adding that it is "a bit more tribal and perhaps more Devoesque than its predecessor". Terry Staunton from NME commented, "Disappointing after the delight of the earlier record with Ya Kid K rapping her backside off. [...] Still, we'll find it grows on us as it blares out of the "bins" at various clubs. Not bad, but can do better." Retrospective response Retrospectively AllMusic editor Alex Henderson described "This Beat Is Technotronic" as "highly infectious". In an 2015 review, Pop Rescue stated that it "sees MC Eric 'take the microphone stand' and using his 'dope lyrics'", noting that the song is "pretty much a repetitive rap over the familiar bassy synth and hissing hi-hat sequence." Music video A music video was produced to promote the single. It was later published on Technotronic's official YouTube channel in June 2018, and had generated more than 748,000 views as of February 2023.
