Critical reception

AllMusic editor Jose F. Promis described the song as a "irresistible Latin-flavored dance track".[1] Music & Media commented in their review that "the Cuban exile Estefan addresses her anger against dictator Fidel Castro. "People have a right to party," our little rebel sings, musically going back to her Latin roots."[2] The Network Forty noted that "it's been too long since Gloria Estefan has given us an uptempo hit record. "Go Away" is reminiscent of the early Miami Sound Machine hits; it has the energy of "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You" and "1-2-3"."[3]
