In the UK, "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" peaked at number three in its sixth week at the UK Singles Chart, on January 13, 1991, a full month before its American pop success. The single made it to the Top 10 also in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Greece (number two), Iceland, Norway, Spain (number two), Sweden and the United Kingdom, as well as on the Eurochart Hot 100, where it hit number two. In Europe, it peaked at number-one in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland. The song held the top spot on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for five weeks in December 1990, and topped the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks in 1991 (February 9 and February 16.) It also topped the Canadian RPM Dance/Urban chart. By 2007, the song was criticized by AllMusic as "the lazy Hollywood 'go-to' song for supposed laugh-filled, irony-fueled dance numbers." Chart performance However, over the years, the song came to be used and/or referenced innumerable times by the entertainment industry, to the point that it became something of a musical, pop culture cliché. It doesn't hurt that it's right in line sound-wise with past chart top hits like Black Box's "Everybody Everybody" and Snap's "The Power", either." A reviewer from People Magazine stated that the track "deserves its Top 10 status, along with hit-to-be " Things That Make You Go Hmmm." blending rap, rock and dance riffs." With singer Freedom Williams up front demanding "Everybody Dance Now," the song is simply the best party starter to come along in months. Scott Galloway from The Network Forty commented that the song is "an electrifying debut from Robert Clivilles & David Cole, the production team that brought you Seduction. Penelope Layland from The Canberra Times stated that the song "is highly percussive, with an urgent beat contrasting well with the lazy vocal delivery." Marisa Fox from Entertainment Weekly said it "sounds like a composite of 1990's most memorable pop/dance tunes - a screeching bass line (reminiscent of Snap's "The Power Jam"), wailing lead vocals sung by former Weather Girl Martha Wash, and up-tempo beats that reek of Technotronic." Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report noted that it is "difficult to package any more excitement into this release which exemplifies what fresh music is all about." A. Promis described it as "unstoppable" and noted that it "incorporated dance, house, and hip hop beats, wailing diva vocals, and rap to come up with one of the year's most exciting hits." Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that "new act featuring hot producers Robert Clivilles and David Cole serves up a potential multiformat smash with this slammin', guitar-driven hip-hopper, fueled by a stellar appearance from former Weather Girl Martha Wash." He also described it as "a virtually flawless stew of hip-hop bass and percussion, deft rhyming courtesy of newcomer Freedom Williams, and ripping vocals by supreme diva Martha Wash". Bill Lamb from said that the vocal performances "along with state-of-the-art house rhythms" made up "one of the most exhilarating songs of the year." AllMusic editor Jose F. Music critics praised "Gonna Make You Sweat" for Freedom Williams' Ice-T-like rap delivery in conjunction with Martha Wash's powerful, exuberant, post-disco vocals and deemed the song as a bona fide classic. Topping charts in several countries, the song dominated the airwaves while its accompanying music video received constant rotation on MTV. When it was first released, "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" enjoyed widespread commercial success. The case was eventually settled in 1994, and as a result of the settlement, Sony made an unprecedented request to MTV to add a disclaimer that credited Wash for vocals and Zelma Davis (who lip-synced Wash's vocals in the official music video) for "visualization" to the "Gonna Make You Sweat" music video. On December 11, 1991, Wash filed a lawsuit in the Los Angeles Superior Court against C+C Music Factory's Robert Clivilles and David Cole, charging the producers and their record company, Sony Music Entertainment, with fraud, deceptive packaging, and commercial appropriation.
Additionally, the song used an edited compilation of vocal parts that Wash recorded in June 1990 for an unrelated demonstration tape. After discovering that the group was using model-turned-singer Zelma Davis in the music video, Wash unsuccessfully attempted to negotiate with the producers of the C+C Music Factory for sleeve credits and royalties.
The music video showed Zelma Davis lip-syncing to the actual Wash's vocal parts. The rap verse was performed by Freedom Williams and the female vocals by Martha Wash. He offered the track to vocal trio Trilogy, but when they declined to record it, Clivillés decided to use the track for his and David Cole's C+C Music Factory. Robert Clivillés wrote and produced an instrumental track that was to become "Gonna Make You Sweat".
