Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard described the song as a "smokin', rock-flavored hip-hopper, empowered with a more biting, worldly edge than on past efforts." He noted further that "periodic rushes of metallic guitars slice through a fat groove, and underscore Cherry's well-seasoned singing and rapping."[2] Music & Media commented that "Cherry's position at the top of innovative pop is reaffirmed. A guitar riff on a dance record, hey that's uncommon! Rockers here's your chance to steal a sample back, instead of the other way round."[3] David Browne from Entertainment Weekly noted that on "brazen tracks like ”Money Love” Cherry still knows how to throw down with the best of them."[4]
