Critical reception
Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet described the song as a "bombastic light-reggae swing", adding it as an "absolute hit".[1] AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine said in his review of the Dance into the Light album, that the song "recalls the snappy punch" of Collins' 1985 song "Sussudio".[2] Larry Flick from Billboard called it a "sunny and uptempo ditty that is awash in Caribbean-style horns and Stax-like pop beats." He felt that Collins "sounds like he is having an absolute blast here. In fact, you can almost hear the grin he must have been wearing in the recording studio shining through the music."[3] The magazine's Paul Verna declared it as "peppy".[4]
The Daily Vault's Christopher Thelen wrote that "Dance Into the Light" "with its different rhythm pattern, instantly engages the listener, and is one of the best singles Collins has written in a long time."[5] David Browne from Entertainment Weekly stated that the singer "tries to broaden his palette", and added that "Afro-beat rhythms propel" the song, "which also tosses in politically correct references to South Africa."[6] A reviewer from Music Week rated it four out of five, noting that Collins "returns with an uptempo ballad that bears his unmistakeable mark."[7]

The accompanying music video for "Dance Into the Light" was directed by English musician and music video director Kevin Godley.[8]
