Nick Jarvis from in the Mix said " From the gospel intro to the tribal conga drums , driving bassline and diva vocals exploring themes of " love on the dancefloor " , ' Just the Thing ' takes a swathe of deep house and disco tropes and turns them into an indelible hands-in-the-air jam . What a hook , and what a voice ; Paul Mac 's most commercially successful single is an all-time funky house belter that 's probably still getting thrashed on pub jukeboxes in regional towns "
