Critical reception
AllMusic editor David Jeffries called this song "completely unsurprising, with a rock-solid hook."[2] Ken Copabianco described the song: "His sex talk is good-natured and slyly insightful about love".[3] XXL 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."[4]
