Critical reception

Pitchfork criticized "Get Ugly", calling it: "a brutal attempt to reprise the ubiquitous "Wiggle," though the result is more like "Sexyback" re-imagined under the influence of a half dozen Jaeger bombs." [5]

Music video

The music video for the track, directed by Syndrome, premiered via Derulo's YouTube channel on December 14, 2015. [6] Allison Bowsher of Much TV channel called it a "good old fashioned dance video" and wrote that it "showcase his talent as a dancer". [7] Colin Joyce from Spin wrote that the video "plays like a re-imagining of Lionel Richie's "All Night Long" video". [8] Radio.com's Amanda Wicks said that Derulo "shows off some fresh moves by way of slick choreography" throughout the video. [9]
