Critics disliked the film's similarities with other dance flicks such as "Save the Last Dance" and "Flashdance". Another criticism was that, except for a few scenes where Lauryn appears with a bare midriff, the film did not contain enough skin. One reviewer stated, "You're liable to see more flesh in a Pussycat Dolls video than here". The dance moves were also criticized as being lazy, and offering nothing groundbreaking. Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian gave it 1 out of 5 and described it as "Cheesy and icky, but calamitously fails to offer any high-octane dance to ease the pain."
