"Automatic Lover (Call for Love)" is a song by German Eurodance/pop music project Real McCoy (also known as M.C. Sar & The Real McCoy), released in January 1994 by Hansa as the second single from their album Another Night (1995), which is the US version of the project's second album, Space Invaders. The song was produced by music producers Juergen Wind (aka J. Wind) and Frank Hassas (aka Quickmix) under the producer team name Freshline, and borrows the melody from Bronski Beat's 1984 song, "Smalltown Boy".[1] It was a top-20 hit in a number of countries, including Australia, Denmark, Germany and Sweden. There were made two different music videos for "Automatic Lover (Call for Love)". The European version was directed by Angel in 1994.[2]

Critical reception

Bradley Torreano from AllMusic felt the song was "more club-friendly" and found its audience among the young dance crowds before moving to radio.[3] Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Look for this Euro-NRG trio to once again steamroll toward the upper regions of the Hot 100 with this catchy dance/pop ditty. The formula is solidly in place: Throaty Romeo-style male rapping is balanced by charming female vamping during the chorus and underscored with frenetic, butt-shaking beats. The hook is as sticky as they come. A no-brainer hit."[4]

Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report commented, "Tally up the spins that O-Jay, Patsy and Vanessa have logged in the States since the release of "Another Night" and it's nothing short of staggering. That figure is certain to grow thanks to this high-energy production."[5] Another editor, Annette M. Lai, felt it has "hit potential".[6] Howard Cohen from Herald-Journal described the track as "club-ready".[7] Daisy and Havoc from Music Week's RM Dance Update declared it as a "amusing piece of pop".[8] Another editor, James Hamilton, called it a "archetypal gruffy muttered and sweetly cooed Euro romp".[9] A reviewer from People Magazine felt that songs like this "pack so many beats into 4 minutes that just listening to them is thoroughly exhausting."[10]
