"Fitz & The Tantrums deliver hook upon hook on catchy new single 'HandClap,'" said Idolator andHarper's Bazaar hailed the track as a "cheeky dance floor seduction ballad." The LA Weekly noted, "'HandClap' picks up where more modern-sounding tracks like 'The Walker' left off, giving the Tantrums' R&B rhythms and soulful vocals a glossy pop sheen." "Fitz and the Tantrums have the ability to get booties shaking and hands clapping more than any other band in pop music today, so it makes perfect sense that they'd return with a song called 'HandClap,'" observed AXS.
