Nick Levine of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:
It's by the guy behind T.I. and RiRi's favourite Eurodance smash, it's got a video that could accurately be subtitled "Jiggly Sweaty Boobs", and its title is a cringey slither of Spanglish that translates as "Young Girl Bomb". However, like a fondue made with Tesco Value mild cheddar, this isn't as cheesy as it should be. In fact, "Chica Bomb" is a sleek and reasonably sexy electro-house track with a nice bit of synthy bounce to it. It's not terribly original, of course, and the lyrics aren't worth cutting and pasting, but fair's fair; the hook doesn't miss explosive by much. The result? David Guetta may not have anything to worry about, but Britain's irked clubbers certainly do.
