Critical Reception
"Don't Cha" received mainly positive reviews. Lisa Haines from BBC described the track as "memorable". She continued saying " a groovy R&B duet with Busta Rhymes, is easily the best." Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine said that, " The Pussycat Dolls have certainly carved a niche for themselves in 21st century pop history. Their brassy, sassy debut single, 'Don't Cha', featuring Busta Rhymes, stormed the charts with its various incarnations, held from the pole position on Billboard's Hot 100 only by Mariah Carey's monster comeback 'We Belong Together'." Isaac McCalla from About.com praised the song. "This single is a serious dose of high energy, wickedly fun and slammin' house music." However John Murphy said that, the single "Don't Cha" is rather good – a silky, sexy little number with a refrain of "don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me" that will become ubiquitous by the end of the month." However he later said that Busta Rhymes is annoying. "It's a shame that Busta Rhymes is as typically annoying as ever, but he doesn't spoil the song too much."

“You took my heart in your hand
With a friendly smile,
With a critical eye you scanned,
Then set it down,
And said: It is still unripe,
Better wait awhile;”
