Slant Magazine's Sal Cinquemani gave the song a positive review, favoring its departure from Mandy Moore's previous singles and calling it "home to one of the best pop hooks in recent memory" and stating that the lyrics were "far more penetrating than anything on her peers' plates."[3] Entertainment Weekly's Matt Diehl, however, gave it a C rating, stating his disturbance at "hearing the 17-year-old moaning, 'How much for your love?'" Diehl was also unhappy with its lyrical content, relating that "lyrics that dance around naughtiness... devolve into nonsense."[4] People Magazine said that it was "laced with sinewy Middle Eastern rhythms... just as right for the summer."[5]
