Worldwide, the single reached number one in Australia and Canada, number two in New Zealand, and the top 10 in at least nine other countries.

Critical reception

In 1995, James Hamilton from British magazine Music Week's RM Dance Update described the K-Klass remix as a "three years old hit totally revamped as a superb melodically whined Michael Jackson-ish strider". Gina Morris from Smash Hits gave it three out of five, writing, "No worries, you can't go wrong with luminous feel-good pop and thumping breakbeats. Plus there's loads of funky remixes on the CD too, wheeling the whole thing in at over 30 minutes long. Bargain!" ==Music videos==

Music videos

The music video for "Humpin' Around" features Brown dancing outside with women in cages, with cut scenes of a girl trying to break in to his phone and personal belongings to find his mistress in NYC. A second video was shot primarily outside for the dance remix, along with random shots and outtakes from the original video. ==Track listing==
