Critical reception



Leslie Wilson from 'Gulf News' said "Hurry Up" had the potential to be a "summer hit". She likened the "near-identical" sound to the other album tracks "Club Jumpin'" and "Teach Me How to Dance" and "Hurry Up" and believed it made them all sound repetitive. The UK remix of the song was featured on British DJ MistaJam's BBC Radio 1xtra "MistaJam Recommends" playlist. N. Lochy from DJ Booth described it as a "dance record, with noticeably fused elements of Hip-Hop and Reggae". They compared the sound of "Hurry Up" to the US singer Fergie. Lochy added that the song is attention grabbing and praised Garrett for producing a "busy beat perfect for holding the interest" of listeners.

A reviewer from Finland's 'Stara' gave the song a one out of five rating. They were not impressed with the song's production and opined that there was crackling background noise in the song that distracts the listener. They said the song was so bad they needed to wear ear plugs.
