Critical reception
'People' declared "Pushed by a killer bass riff, 'I Want It Now' bubbles like a craterful of lava."
Don Waller of the 'New York Times' found that "Cameo rolls back the rug for a wall-to-off-the-wall dance party, with the house-of-whacks "I Want It Now" and the over-the-counter Afro-desiac "Nan-Yea" providing the most innovative moments. Chris Heim of the 'Chicago Tribune' called the song a "catchy, Sly-styled pop funk tune".
