Critical reception
editLarry Flick from Billboard felt the "bracing" song "will leave familiar techno-pop skids all over the dancefloor, it is only one of many styles successfully explored here [on the album]."[1] A reviewer from Music & Media wrote, "Since 1991's 'Everybody's Free (To Feel Good)' the Zimbabwian has failed to come up with as strong a single, until this one with all the cheerfulness pop dance records should have."[2] Alan Jones from Music Week said, "Not wholly successful in its pre-release club trials, and considerably less obviously hitbound than her early Pulse 8 hits, this is nonetheless a happy house anthem that will find enough buyers to save face."[3]
James Hamilton of the Record Mirror Dance Update named it a "diva-like joyful galloper".[4] Al Weisel from Rolling Stone stated that the "scorching techno beat" on 'This Time I Found Love' "will have dance floors skirting fure-code regulations."[5] Tony Cross from Smash Hits gave the song a full score of five out of five, writing, "If there was a happy house heaven, this is what would greet you at the pumping pearly gates. Rozalla has created a club classic that's as perfect on the dancefloor as it is on your stereo."[6]
