"All Systems Go" is the third single from American singer-songwriter Donna Summer's thirteenth album of the same name (1987). Edited from its original album version, it became a minor hit in the United Kingdom, where it reached #54 [1] on the UK Singles Chart.
Critical reception
Jerry Smith from Music Week wrote, "Nowhere near as compulsive as her " Dinner with Gershwin" hit, but this, the title track from her latest album, written and produced by Harold Faltermeyer, does have a certain naggingly quality to it." [2] Tom Hibbert from Smash Hits constated that "this woman can sing like a dream", commenting further that "this may not be her finest moment (that was " State of Independence", the greatest record ever made) but it's completely fab nonetheless, a crisp and swinging pop tune with admirably absurd references to outer space. Bravo, as they say, madam." [3]
