Critical reception
Steve Hochman from Los Angeles Times felt that "Where Are You Baby?" "is as engaging a bit of pop fluff as you’re likely to find, as wonderfully frothy as Bananarama’s early best—if not Lesley Gore’s." Paul Lester from Melody Maker said that the song "sounds like it was crafted by several experts with years of experience in how to contrive sublime chart noise." David Giles from Music Week wrote that the follow-up to the hugely successful "Doin' the Do" "should fare even better, since it possesses an instantly alluring chorus with distinct traces of Motown acts like the Supremes and Martha Reeves. A possible number one?"
