Composition
Sampling Nice & Smooth's "Hip Hop Junkies", "Do You Wanna Get Funky" is a Snoop Doggy Dogg-esque ragga, hip hop, and P-funk track "with highly charged vocal performances" and "a slick and insinuating groove that is padded with ear-pleasing synth lines".
Critical reception
Larry Flick from 'Billboard' praised "Do You Wanna Get Funky", predicting that its "killer hook and a memorable refrain" will "push the act up the charts once again". Troy J. Augusto from 'Cash Box' highlighted its "heavy-duty dance groove, some tasty toast-vox from Trilogy and a heaping helping of Ms. Washs operatic voice", and also suggested the "fiery track" could be a hit on "a large cross-section of contemporary radio". Brad Beatnik from 'Music Week's 'RM' Dance Update called it the best cut "on a rather patchy new album", positively commenting on the choice of sample and "superb diva vocals from Martha Wash and Zelma Davis".
Music video
A music video was produced to promote the single, featuring Martha Wash. It features them performing in a nightclub.
