Critical reception
In his review for Billboard, Chuck Taylor characterized the song as "clearly youth-centric", highlighting its "super-youthful pop melodies with high-pitched rapping". He observed that it "is a little jarring at first to hear an all-American blond kid rapping and talking like a street-wise punk at times", but suggested that, particularly in the Radio Disney format, its "proximity comes across as hip and daring—and all in good, clean fun".
Music video
A music video was produced to promote the single release of "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)", enacting the party scene of the song. The video shows Aaron Carter dancing in a house party with his friends while his parents are out on a date. Everything goes really well until Carter's parents come home and find out that he threw a party while they were gone and they ground him as a result. The video was shot in Canada along with his other singles "Iko Iko", "I Want Candy", and "Bounce".
