The song's music video was nominated for a MuchMusic Video Award for "Best Dance Music Video".[4] The group's other hits included "Take Control" and "The Square Dance Song" (a collaboration with Ashley MacIsaac). Their singles "I'm in Love with You" and "Living in Ecstasy", were both club and radio mix show hits.[5] Their single "Astroplane" won a Juno Award in 1996.[6] BKS songs were included on DJ and MuchMusic promoted CD compilations, including Pirate Radio Volume 5.[7]
