Critical reception

The song received mixed to positive reviews from the music critics. Lewis Corner of Digital Spy said about Louder: 'A winning mix of insistent beats, pinches of piano and choppy synths, all topped off with a nursery rhyme-style chant of "Turn it up boy, boy, turn it up boy…", 'Louder' bubbles with modern pop fun, but does it offer anything we haven't heard before? Put it this way - The Saturdays needn't worry about eBaying off their Mulberry handbags just yet.' He awarded the song three stars.[1]
