Get 'Em Girls received mixed reviews from critics. Jacqueline Smith of The New Zealand Herald gave the album a rating of three out of five and commented that "many of the songs... lack stickability and will probably merge into a fluoro-tainted pool of background pop played in cheap clothing stores." [36] Majhid Heath of ABC Online Indigenous gave the album two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that it's "a non-cohesive mess of similar sounding, auto-tuned ravaged pop/R&B." [37] Simon Sweetman of Stuff.co.nz listed Get 'Em Girls as one of the worst albums of 2011, criticizing its use of the vocoder for "slurring... meaningless words into place, buttering up the dodgy pitch and lame phrasing and allowing it to slide in and around the big crashes of the drum machine." [38] Alasdair Duncan of Rave magazine awarded the album three stars and gave it a positive review, complimenting its "sassy floor fillers and ballads" for sounding well-produced. [39]

Get 'Em Girls debuted at number six on the ARIA Albums Chart on 15 November 2010, [40] and became Mauboy's second top-ten album. [28] It was certified platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association for shipments of more than 70,000 units. [41] Get 'Em Girls won 'Album of 2010' at the POPrepublic.tv IT List Awards, [42] and was nominated for 'Album of the Year' at the 2011 National Indigenous Music Awards. [43]
