Critical reception

On its release, Music Week called "Who's That Girl (She's Got It)" a "lively, bubbling number" and "danceable electronic pop" with "wide enough appeal to chart". [9] Nancy Culp of Record Mirror commented, "To even have the same title as the seminal Eurythmics stunner is sacrilege. To soil its memory with piffle is an even greater crime." [10]
