Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard described the song as a "sweat-soaked" debut.[4] Pop Rescue wrote in their review, "It’s simple – ‘up and down, up and down, up…. and down‘ – not much to remember when you’re dancing to it in a club at 3am. Again the thumping beat and bouncy little synth riffs are there, and aside from that simple almost-aerobic exercise set of lyrics, there’s not much more to it. This probably played to its benefit, helping to keep it un-cluttered and catchy."[5]
