Critical reception.
Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:
"Like sipping on a bottle of the electrolyte-infused liquid, its wobbly drum 'n' bass lines are guaranteed to satisfy many a club-goers craving for a three-minute fix of hang-banging, fist-pumping and head-spinning music. "It's gonna get louder," warns guest vocalist Sian Evans on the hi-NRG chorus before breaking into a glorious middle 8 that sounds like a lost '90s classic - prompting the response, 'Don't worry love, keep cranking that dial!'. 
Chart performance.
The song debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart, UK Dance Chart, UK Indie Chart and the Scottish Charts with first week sales in excess of 140,000 copies. In its second week, the single shifted additional 80,000 digital copies. The song also peaked number four on the Irish Singles Chart. As of February 2012, "Louder" had sold 507,659 units in the UK.
