Critical reception

"Go Hard (La.La.La)" has received mixed reviews. Spin magazine's Marc Hogan criticized Kreayshawn for abandoning her traditional hip hop style for the conventional electropop themes heard on the radio. Continuing in his negative review, Hogan went on to call the spoken-word intro and the pre-chorus of the song "ridiculous", and "not in the good way".[1] In a review of Somethin' 'Bout Kreay, Siân Rowe of NME gave "Go Hard (La.La.La)" a positive review, comparing Kreayshawn's aesthetic in the song to that of Katy Perry's, stating "The Katy Perry thing works fine when upbeat (like on ‘Go Hard (La. La. La)'".[2] Adam Bychawski of Drowned in Sound, dubbed certain tracks from Somethin' 'Bout Kreay, including "Go Hard (La.La.La)", a "preponderance of bland dance tracks".[3]
