Larry Flick from 'Billboard' described it as a "festive street-party anthem". The Daily Vault's Mark Millan called it a "chill-out groove", "which is just as much fun but not as noisy" like "You'll Be Mine (Party Time)". He noted that it "add much needed light into what is a very mood-driven and introspective collection of songs." A reviewer from 'People Magazine' stated that "her sensual vocal style works best when it rides a firecracker groove." The reviewer added that "when she gets wild and frisky in the congo stomp of "Higher", Estefan can even get a grandma leaping from her rocking chair and dancing into the streets." Fernando Gonzales from 'Star-News' wrote that the track is a "good-time romp".
