Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that "requisite harsh synths are tempered with a retro, Giorgio Moroder-esque electro-beat" on the 1992 version.[3] A reviewer from Music & Media commented on the 1995 remix of the song, "In the "Deconstruction Classic" series, here's Patrick Prins' remix interpretation of Felix's 1992 dance hit. It's much heavier now with souped up sequencers and percussion."[4] British magazine Music Week described it as a "hand-waving progressive house anthem".[5] James Hamilton from the magazine's RM Dance Update deemed it a "distinctive organ/synth driven" track.[6]
British hardhouse and trance music record producer Jon the Dentist picked "Don't You Want Me" as one of his favourites in 1995, adding, "When this came out we finally got some technoey sounds back after two years of drongo discoey sounds. It was how I got into hardcore. Felix was a groundbreaker, he finally got house back on its track."[7]
