Critical reception
The Press wrote that "these are joyous songs that will please the fans, who will delight in the remake of 'Endicott' and the title track 'Too Cool To Conga'."[6] The Washington Post wrote that "the finger-snapping dance tunes are as irresistible as ever, even if they arrive too late to take advantage of the late-'90s swing revival."[5]
