Critical reception

In a review of the album Pulse BBC.co.uk stated "The brass-infused Make My Heart sees Braxton singing higher than her comfortable range, and Lookin’ At Me draws too obviously on Beyoncé's Halo, feeling similarly redundant for its too-high vocal and artificially-placed focus on young lust. These poppier tracks feel gratuitous, thrown in for measure to attract the younger crowd."[1] AllMusic's Andy Kellman described the song as "a rapturous club track put over the top by some of Braxton’s most athletic vocals."[2]
