[1] "That Girl" reached the top 20 in at least eight countries, including the United Kingdom, where it peaked at
No. 15 on the
UK Singles Chart . It also peaked at No. 3 on the
Finnish Singles Chart , No. 4 on the Canadian
RPM 100 Hit Tracks chart, No. 7 on the
Australian Singles Chart and No. 20 on the US
Billboard Hot 100 .
Critical reception
Larry Flick from
Billboard wrote, "Maxi Priest ushers in his new album, "Man With The Fun ", with a little festive
toasting assistance from Shaggy. The two playfully mix it up on a finger-snapping ditty that is fueled by the sampled hook of "
Green Onions " by
Booker T. & the MG's . Priest has rarely sounded so relaxed and sexy. With a steamy groove and a chorus that you will be singing along with by its close, this single is ripe for mega pop success."
