Music critics praised the song's production and Minogue's vocals and labelled it a highlight of Fever. The song peaked at number one on charts in 40 countries worldwide. The music video for "Can't Get You Out of My Head", directed by Dawn Shadforth, features Minogue dancing against futuristic backdrops; the white jumpsuit she wore in the video became a fashion statement.
