Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that a song like this "has lyrics that do not venture beyond adolescent humor and raunchy chatter, with slammin' grooves and contagious melodies serving as the real attention grabber". He added that it "has singer Roula cooing and giggling on the joys of oral gratification."[1] James Hamilton from Music Week's RM Dance Update described it as a "deadpan girl chanted 'Short Dick Man' follow-up's jauntily throbbed 127bpm" track.[2]
The song achieved success in many European countries. It topped the Italian singles chart and was a top 10 hit in five countries; Austria (10), Belgium (9), France (5), Germany (4) and Spain (4). On the Eurochart Hot 100, "Lick It" reached number six. On the US Billboard Hot 100, the song peaked at number 72. In Canada, it went to number two on both The Record singles chart and the RPM Dance/Urban chart. However, its sales were lower than 20 Fingers' previous hit "Short Dick Man".
