 Writing for Spin Caryn Ganz was pleased by the video , saying " [ Madonna 's ] attempt to find a bridge between sports , love , and fame falls a bit flat ... but in the end , the football players and cheerleaders in the video are all literally faceless passersby . They , like the two high @-@ profile MCs , are all here in service of [ the singer ] . " Becky Bain Idolator found a number of topics to discuss about the video , including trick photography , golden rains and the appearance of the singers as " triple Marilyn or triple Madonna " . Though she believed that it was not Madonna 's best video , nevertheless it was successful as a release . Christopher Farley from The Washington Post gave another positive review , saying that the singer " appears to be in better shape than many college students , which is crazy " and also complimented her for picking " M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj – and getting them to literally serve as cheerleaders for the Madonna brand . " MTV News ' Jocelyn Vena described it as " funky , fun and surreal ( and almost cartoony ) " as well as fun and light @-@ hearted : " Madonna looks like she 's having an incredibly fun time throughout the visual , smiling and shimmying her way through this fictional , hyper @-@ fantasy world . Watching the clip , one may wonder what doesn 't happen in the video . "
