its mix of social consciousness and dance grooves". Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "The master of funk/rock dips into his "Graffiti Bridge" disc and pulls out another multiformat gem. Imaginative and ethereal track emphasizes his unique vocal stamp, and features guest appearances by Mavis Staples and Tevin Campbell." Greg Kot from Chicago Tribune described it as "the record's manifesto-like lead track". Duncan Holland from Music Week commented, "Take all above styles, mix them all together, and you get Prince. Although a fairly routine track, this is the one that could give him his tenth Top 10. Is there anything this man cannot do?" A reviewer from People Magazine noted "the up-side-your-head funk" of the song. Chart performance "New Power Generation" failed to make the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100, however on the R&B/Hip-Hop singles chart, the song reached number 27, and it peaked one spot higher in the UK, but the track was still considered a commercial disappointment.
