Ken Copabianco described the song: His "sex talk is good-natured and slyly insightful about love ("What Them Girls Like")" XXL Magazine wrote a mixed review: "Elsewhere, he’s just straight reaching—“What Them Girls Like,” for instance, where, despite taking a cue from 2000’s Mel Gibson chick flick What Women Want, there’s no real solid connection established between the film and the actual song."
