 Jason Lipshutz of Billboard said that the video continues the visual representation of Spears ' relationship with the paparazzi and her public image , as previously seen in the videos for " Everytime " ( 2004 ) and " Piece of Me " ( 2008 ) , but " the new clip is arguably her most playful yet . " Amos Barshad of New York stated the video " is awe @-@ inspiring in almost exactly the way it intended to be " and that " the spirit of the song , as reflected in the video , is that of free will and dream fulfillment in the face of a repressive society . " Jocelyn Vena of MTV commented that " Britney displays the sass and charm fans fell in love with a decade ago during performance shots , where she flirts with the camera , her eyes as big and wide as her smile . " An editor for VH1 called the video " fan @-@ freakin ' <unk> " and compared it favorably to the music video for Katy Perry 's " Last Friday Night ( T.G.I.F. ) " ( 2011 ) , saying that " they share a silly temperament , a flirty star , and funny cameos . Upon closer examination , though , Britney 's video blows Katy Perry 's out of the water . "
