Critical reception.
Larry Flick from "Billboard" commented, "Betcha thought it would never happen. Torch diva lang slips into an intense deep-house groove with a lot more ease than you might expect. Redressing of a disco-minded cut from the "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" soundtrack is an essential peak-hour entry, thanks to hearty bottom and moody keyboards. Radio may dig the equally jammin' hip-hop remixes. Gag on it, kiddies." Ben Thompson from "The Independent" wrote, "Her swooning and, well, langorous vocal performances on songs such as "Lifted by Love" and "Just Keep Me Moving" are the perfect complement to the film's mood of dreamy sensuality, and also stand up well on their own." Pan-European magazine "Music &amp; Media" remarked, "This funky single [...] is a gigantic departure from her usual "torch and twang". Funky as hell, it should give dance divas the blues." 
John Harris from "NME" said, "On "Just Keep Me Moving" she does the hitch-hike along this swish Becker/Fagen type groove — the only real musical nod to the novel's time frame." Another "NME" editor, Barbara Ellen, viewed it as "a limp, reggae-ish cut". Sam Wood from "Philadelphia Inquirer" found that "she imbues the antiquated sound of a '70s bell-bottom thumper with genuine heart, as if she were getting her first big break headlining at the "Love Boat"'s discotheque." Renée Christ from "Spin" described it as "a dancey patter track, with lang's vocals filling space like a Casio sample when she's singing the repetitive onomatopoetic lyrics."
