Critical reception
Hugh Wyatt of the New York Daily News exclaimed I Can't Wait, doesn't "reflect the pedestrian soap-opera fare of some of her previous dance-oriented tunes. Her level of maturity and spirit seems to elevate even the most menial of songs, particularly those in the disco idiom." Mike Joyce of The Washington Post called the song "a vibrant, catchy pop tune".
