Critical reception [edit]

AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine described the song as "dynamite" in his review of Robyn Is Here.^[1] Larry Picture from Billboard alleged information technology equally a "brilliant'n'boisterous ditty" and a "youth-driven nail". He complimented the vocalist's "oh-so-charming presence, which is sorta a hybrid of Brandy and Monica with a pinch of Mariah Carey", adding that Robyn "makes the most of the song's irresistibly sweet chorus and finger-poppin' funky backbeat."^[ii] Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report noted that "rarely does word about a record spread as quickly every bit it has for this Swedish production."^[3]

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote that the 16-year old Robyn "has mastered the R&B genre to a T." They stated that she "supplies the sassy rhymes, while master-producer [Denniz] Pop takes care of the perky beats and poppy arrangements."^[4] A reviewer from Music Week rated it four out of five, calculation that the vocaliser "delivers a slick uptempo number which could come across her brand the Pinnacle forty".^[5] Kirstin Watson from Blast Hits viewed it as a "happy ditty" and a "right catchy fiddling number".^[6] Ian Hyland from Sunday Mirror gave it nine out of ten, commenting, "Exploding the myth that Swedish popsters are all Paul Calf haircuts and Magnum moustaches, the girl Robyn shows she certain tin funk. Large summertime chorus in the house."^[7]
