 Sharan Shetty of "Slate" viewed the clip as "unusually candid" and "delightfully low-concept" further noticing how despite the acrobatic moves and synchronized twerking, the singer also "injects some dorkiness into her 'woke up like this' image".He described it as the singer's routine on a Friday night and further praised Jay-Z and Blue Ivy's appearances.Justin Block of "Complex" praised the fact that most of the dance moves were not coordinated enough, further praising Beyoncé for using an "ubiquitous 'selfie-stick' to bring more private moments of her life into the fold".
