  ## Critical response
  
  Mike Wass of Idolator was complimentary of the song describing it as a "killer single". He did label Pitbull's lyrics "questionable" but are overlooked as he "injects enough humor into the song". Steve Adams of the Winnipeg Free Press gave the song a lukewarm review, giving it two and half stars. He wrote that, compared to "Timber", "Wild Wild Love" was not "nearly as gratingly awful, but it's not anything amazing either". Rolling Stone's Joe Gross only commented that Pitbull "doesn't sound entirely sure who [G.R.L.] are".
  
  ## Chart performance
  
  "Wild Wild Love" peaked at number 30 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it Pitbull's seventeenth top 40 hit. It peaked at number 6 on the UK, becoming his last top ten hit there. It became G.R.L.'s only single to impact the chart before the group disbanded in 2015. As of March 2015, the single has sold 767,000 copies in the US.
