 Matthew Gasteier of "Prefix" magazine noted that the song "is probably the standout triumph here, with stuttering synths and a fade-in-fade-out shimmering beat that may be the best ever from Timbaland".Lauren Murphy of entertainment.ie stated that the single is "undeniably fluid and features some of the niftiest slo-mo effects around".Jonah Weiner of "Blender" magazine cited the song as the "standout" song from the album and wrote that the single "...straddles the album's up-tempo "FutureSex" and balladeering "LoveSounds" halves — one coos about puppy love over the other's stroboscopic, salivating beat, and both trade devotionals on the chorus".
