He gave it a positive review, but said "Say what you will about Katy Perry—sure, she has a weak singing voice and her songs are mostly devoid of substance—but as a courier of frothy delights and eye-catching effulgence, she’s become one of today’s most-satisfying pop stars." Metro.co.uk gave it a positive review.

Until she sees you crack a giggle. And you won’t be able to help loving her."
