Critical reception

9 years after its release, Idris Jones from webmedia We Rave You affirmed that "'Rush Hour' is undoubtedly one of the most distinctive, significant and timeless Trance tracks of all time." He acclaimed "its opening atmosphere, the high tempo rhythmic percussion that underlays the rising chords set a spine tingling precedent for the remainder of the track".
