Critical reception

AllMusic editor Jose F. Promis declared "Here We Go (Let's Rock & Roll)" as "anthemic", noting further that it "melded house, hip-hop, and rock."[3] Larry Flick from Billboard viewed it as an "frenetic hip-hop anthem, covered with white-hot metal guitar riffs and rapid-fire rhyming by Freedom Williams."[4] Marisa Fox from Entertainment Weekly described it as a "jumpy track complete with an electric-guitar intro."[5] Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "Gonna make you sweat again. Their grooves are just right. Presenting Freedom Williams and Zelma Davis, C+C will be the chartbusters of 1991."[6] James Hamilton from Music Week called the track a "lurching jitterer".[7] A reviewer from People Magazine wrote that it is "tough funk, like a bastard child of Eddie Van Halen and the Staple Singers. Throughout, synthesizer bullets shoot at your feet until you dance."[8] Jack Barron from Record Mirror felt that Williams "jabs his rap through this current club favourite with all the aplomb of a pit bull greeting a poodle", adding that it is "replete with every kind of dance hook".[9]
