British magazine Music Week rated the song five out of five and named it Single of the Week, writing, "The siblings prove "MMMBop" was no fluke with this strong follow up, which shows their musicianship to greater effect than their debut. A second number one is a possibility."[2] David Fricke from Rolling Stone stated that "you don't have to be a Bop magazine subscriber to fall for the cheesy bounce" of "Where's the Love".[3] Alan Jackson from The Times said, "The "MMMBop" brats are back with a similarly infectious and chartbound slice of kid-rock."[4]
All songs were written by Isaac Hanson, Taylor Hanson, and Zac Hanson. Additional writers are noted in small text.
