Critical reception edit

Jon O'Brien from AllMusic stated that "Mysterious Times" is "arguably his best single", describing it as a "subtle attempt at progressive house."[2] A reviewer from Daily Record commented, "Dance guru Sash! is in disappointing form here as he takes his production expertise to a previously undiscovered level of bland."[3] The newspaper also complimented Cousins' "melodramatic vocals" on the track.[4]

Chart performance edit

"Mysterious Times" climbed into the top 10 in Denmark, Finland, Italy, and Norway, as well as on the Eurochart Hot 100, where it reached number six.[5][6][7][8] In the United Kingdom, the single peaked at number two during its first week on the UK Singles Chart, on 9 August 1998, held off the top spot by Boyzone with "No Matter What".[9] Additionally, "Mysterious Times" was a top-20 hit in Belgium (Flanders and Wallonia), France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Sweden.[6][10] In Iceland and Switzerland, it charted within the top 30.[11][6] Outside Europe, it peaked at number 11 on the US Billboard Dance Club Songs chart, number 28 on the New Zealand Singles Chart, and number 62 on the Australian Singles Chart.[6][12] The single earned a gold record in Belgium, France, and Sweden.[13][14][15] In the UK, it received a silver disc on 11 September 1998.[1]
