It peaked at number 16 on the UK Singles Chart.

Background
In an interview with The Guardian they said: "We worked on this song for two weeks to get the original version perfect. Then Benga does a remix that's absolutely amazing. I think it's testament to his talent that he can live so closely with a track and then do something completely different with it."

Critical reception
Nick Levine of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:

Songs about spotting a proper fitty on the dancefloor and getting in a right old tizzy about it are as rare as OK! covers featuring Katie Price. Still, if anyone can eek fresh juice out of this well-squeezed lyrical lemon, it's the combined talents of a dubstep supergroup and the hippest pop singer in Croydon town, right?

Well, yes, actually. The cut-above club pop of 'Perfect Stranger' is simultaneously stately and spacious, with production that manages to sound clattering without feeling cluttered, and the vocals of Katy "No relation to Mel!" B are just as enchanting as they were when she went 'On A Mission' recently. It all adds up to our favourite song about love at first sight since Kylie chirped "Baby when I heard you..." Right, time for a new iTunes playlist.
