Reception

Billboard magazine gave the song a positive review:

• This is no one-hit wonder. The ing nue who recently scored a pop smash with It's All About Me hits even harder with this wildly contagious, funk-fortified jeep jam. For such a young woman (she's a mere 18), she oozes with the confidence and stylistic flair of an artist twice her age. In an effort to attract the widest range of format support, the label has assembled a stellar remix package that includes Ralphi Rosario's swirling, pop-ready disco-house revision, as well as A. Hagg Islam's raw hip-hop version, which features an impressive rap cameo by Silkk The Shocker.^[1]
