Jim Farber of the "New York Daily News" claimed the track "is a breezy, summer song that will get stuck in your head" but lacking "the snap, and the freshness" of "Fancy." Jesse Spero of "Yahoo Music" called it "the song of the summer." Hardeep Phull of the "New York Post" criticized the song's similar production to "Fancy" and described it as "a woefully formulaic rehash." August Brown of the "Los Angeles Times" mentioned the "bubbly electro-trap beats, a lot of teen-sassy rapping and the two sharing lead singing vocals on the chorus," also commenting "your summer song sweepstakes bracket just got an early contender." Lucas Villa of "AXS" remarked the "anthemic chorus about girl power in the party scene" and the "plucky production kicks with a sound marrying '80s dance music like Debbie Deb's "Lookout Weekend" and recent hits "Fancy" and "Hollaback Girl," also complimenting Spears for finally giving fans "something more urban in the same vein of 2007's "Blackout"" and that both artists "make good on their promise to "bring the noise" on this attitude-packed club banger." Hugh McIntyre of "Forbes" referenced a polarizing reception of the track that was "already being heralded by some as a fantastic new direction for the singer, while others aren’t so sure." Abby Schreiber of "Paper" also observed the similar sound to "Fancy" interjecting with "No matter. The dance-pop, girl power jam has a catchy beat and some pretty great track art," while Ian David Monroe of "V" expressed the same thoughts, "And you won't hear any complaints from us. It’s been almost two long years since the world had a new Britney track, so we’ll take it." Sydney Gore of "Nylon" also heralded it as a "Fancy"-follow up as well as an "empowering song in some regard." Mike Wass of Idolator stated the "Bay Area hip hop-indebted club banger" is a "seemingly inevitable summer smash," and that "Britney serves "Blackout"-era attitude on the catchy chorus." Bradley Stern of PopCrush also gave the song a positive review, commenting "those trap-lite hi-hats and twinkly club beats are pure Hip-Hopney heaven" and "it’ll be a surefire contender for song of the Summer 2015".
