Critical reception


AllMusic editor William Cooper described "Got to Get It" as a "virtual rewrite" of "Mr. Vain".[1] Larry Flick from Billboard called it a "wickedly catchy twirler that appears poised to follow the trend-setting "Mr. Vain" to the top of club playlists and on to top 40 formats". He added, "The song's hook will instantly stick to the brain, while the plethora of pop/rave beats will sneak up the spine."[2] He also wrote that it sports a "better chorus [than its predecessor] and aggressive, synth-soaked beats", and the "blend of party-down male rapping and cute female-belting is familiar and fun."[3]

Alan Jones from Music Week rated it four out of five. He commented, ""Got to get it out of my head" they sing, and you'll be thinking the same when you hear this surefire hit follow-up", where "throbbing Hi-NRG, though with a light vocal touch, and a typical Snap-style rap ail come together to create an instant and likeable smash."[4] James Hamilton from the magazine's RM Dance Update deemed it "another overly similar bland synth buzzed chugger".[5] A reviewer from Sunday Mirror wrote, "After a day spent humming Culture Beat's incredibly catchy follow up to their chart-topper Mr Vain, you'll agree with the lyric, Got to get it out of my head", and concluded with that the song is "high-energy pop [and] a surefire smash both on the dance floor and in the charts."[6]
