Critical reception
Billboard commented that "the upbeat tempo and the fun and loud lyrics mirror the happier-sounding track and perhaps her [Iggy's] life right now."[12] Claire Lobenfeld from Fact gave a negative review, calling the song "a blog house revival nightmare."[13] According to Hardeep Phull from New York Post, the song is "the best thing the 26-year-old has released since her glory days of 2014" and "ultra-catchy", also pointing out "it's the strong comeback she desperately needs."[14] "Mo Bounce" was among the Stereotype's recognized body of work that secured their Producer of the Year, Non-Classical nomination at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards.[15][16] Time magazine ranked it as the fifth worst song of 2017, saying "the repetitive 'bounce, bounce, bounce' chorus was a respite" from Azalea's lyrics.[17]
