"Ooh La La" received generally positive response from critics. Rolling Stone 's Dan Reilly highlighted the song's catchiness, writing "now that you've heard it, try and get it out of your head".[7] An editor from Billboard magazine described the track as a "sweet spot of sugary synth-pop", adding that the song is "highlighted by a compelling breakdown, full of scrambled vocals and dense beats."[8] Brian Mansfield of USA Today stated that "Momma Spears' kid-friendly track is energetic to the point of hyperactivity, caroming from a rap section to an acoustic-guitar-driven chorus to a buzzy electronic breakdown. Smurftastic? Maybe."[9] Jenna Hally Rubenstein from MTV News was enthusiastic about the song, describing it as a "bright, sunshiny pop jam that perfectly caters to the Smurfs 2 demographic."[10] A reviewer from Take 40 Australia wrote that "the tune is pure Britney and we are absolutely loving it."[11] In 2014, "Ooh La La" was nominated for two Radio Disney Music Awards for Best Song That Makes You Smile and Favorite Song from a Movie or a TV Show. The ceremony took place on 26, April 2014,[12] with the song winning the award for Best Song That Makes You Smile.[13]
