Jenna Hally Rubenstein of commented in a positive review, 'Unlike 'Suit & Tie's sultry and retro vibes, the selfie-taker's new jam reminds us a bit more of Justin's days with layered synths and ridiculously club-ready pop production courtesy of JT's main man Timbaland.' Scott Shetler of Popcrush gave the single four stars out of five, writing: 'The song relies on Timbaland’s familiar handclap-style beats and layers of synths and vocals, which instantly embed their way into your brain. Over a bed of gentle piano twinkling and a distorted Timbaland vocal loop, JT delivers some falsetto crooning and a heavy dose of “oohs” and “aahs.”' Another favorable review came from 's Robert Copsey, who wrote: 'Despite musical shifts in the intervening 11 years and the absence of a cheating girlfriend, the single still manages to sound remarkably fresh.
