Critical reception[]
Bill Coleman from Billboard commented, "From the Technotronic stable comes the jammin' club offering "Spin That Wheel" by Hi Tek 3 featuring Technotronic's Ya Kid K on lead vocal. The energy that this track emanates is amazing and can't help but heat up a dancefloor. It's mixed by Jo Bogaert; we prefer the "Swing That Beat" version and "bass-a-pella" to those mixes sporting the weathered "whoa yeah" hook. Don't miss ... "[6]
