Upon the release, pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "This dance duo − DJ Darren Stokes and multi-instrumentalist Lindsay Edwards − started out as remixers for the likes of Urban Cookie Collective, Espiritu and Captain Hollywood. However, their own output could just as easily be described as pop with a strong dance element as the other way around. 'Here's Where the Story Ends' has taken the British Isles by storm, and first indications are that it could also do pretty well on the continent. A host of remixes render the song suitable for formats ranging from fairly mellow AC to dance."
