Nick Levine of Digital Spy gave the video a positive review : " The video that accompanies this track is one of the year 's best so far — and certainly the sexiest : Ciara licks Justin 's ear , Justin reciprocates by slapping her bum , and , well , Ciara 's flexibility would put many a poledancer to shame . Quite frankly , the whole thing could make a nun have impure thoughts . " At the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards , the video was nominated for " Best Choreography ; " it lost to Beyoncé 's " Single Ladies ( Put a Ring on It ) . " The video ranked at number thirty-nine on BET 's '' Notarized : Top 100 Videos of 2009 '' countdown
