Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Latest single from "19 Naughty III" oozes with all the double-entendres that the title suggests. Luckily, this trio is smart enough to keep things from going beyond cute'n'cheeky wordplay. Sure, it would be nice to see NBN spend its considerable lyrical and melodic talent on more meaty fare, but harmless track does have the charm (not to mention a killer hook) to become a guilty pleasure."
