Critical reception

Reviews for "Dirty Picture" were mixed. The BBC said that it was "the kind of track Sugababes should be patching up their every difference ever for." [5] In a negative review of Rokstarr, Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian reacted positively to the song, "[...] facelessness is a problem Cruz rarely surmounts. An exception is 'Dirty Picture', where he saves the day with British humour by impersonating a camera ("Snap, snap, click!").[6]
