Critical reception

Anna Gaca of Spin called it "a short, bombastic number with echoing drums and equal parts club-ready sultriness and onomatopoeia kiss-off."[2] Idolator's Rachel Sonis labeled it "feisty" and went on to say that "it's playful, bubbly, and a perfect number to serve as her first official single in the US."[3]
