Critical reception

AllMusic editor Andy Kellman rated the album three and a half stars ouf of five. He described ''#1 Girl'' as "an album full of age-appropriate pop-R&B that doesn't get much more suggestive than "We 'bout to get acquainted now." It’s all decent, high gloss material that, sonically, fits into mainstream R&B/rap radio playlists circa 2011 without making parents shudder." Jon Caramanica from ''The New York Times'' called the project an "energized and often invigorating debut album." He noted that "most of the singing is done by Prodigy, who has the slickness of Usher in his pre-pubescent yearsv ..These trills of post- Bieber manchild love are produced almost entirely by Walter W. Milsap III and Candice Nelson, who keep their dance-floor R&B; fleet and optimistic."
