Critical reception "Saturday Night" was well-received by professional critics, both contemporaneous and retrospective pieces labeling the track as "irresistible", "catchy", and "infectious". Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that it "is a giddy pop/dance ditty that has already saturated radio airwaves throughout Europe. It also has gotten early spins on crossover stations in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Nashville—and rightly so. The tune has a simple, but killer hook that is matched by a jumpy, rave-coated rhythm section and chirpy female vocals." Another editor, Mark Dezzani, declared it an "teen anthem". Chris Heath from The Daily Telegraph felt it's "pleasantly annoying", saying, "It's pop music. Don't be too cool to enjoy it." David Balls from Digital Spy noted its "feelgood Euro beats and memorable dance routine". Tom Ewing of Freaky Trigger complimented it for being "one of those iconically simple pop hits" and for its "resistibility". He also added that the song is "charmingly unassuming, thanks mainly to Whigfield's matter-of-fact performance. If you do stick around, your reward is a lovely bit of house piano heading for the fade. But this song is never pushy. It's Saturday night. Whigfield is having a great time." Gavin Hills from The Observer viewed it as "wonderful", British magazine Music Week called it "delightful frothy pop", and Stephen Meade from The Network Forty considered it as "exciting".

In some scenes, she flips through pictures of different men and selects one (GG Allin) of them, which she kisses and attaches to the mirror. In the video
