Critical Reception
Leanne Durr of "ClickLiverpool" called "On and On" too euro-pop and that it would fit as Sweden’s Eurovision entry, despight this he says that the song have one major good point, Agnes's voice, which is "mature beyond its years". She also said that "if Agnes is looking for any credibility within the dance genre, she should steer clear of this euro-pop sound as it is nowhere near as edgy or as sleek as previous single Release Me."
In contrast, Jessica Pinkett of "Daily Music Guide" stated that with "On and On" Agnes was "back on top form" after "the disappointingly bland 'I Need You Now'". She described On and On as "a catchy, upbeat number which is made all the more anthemic by Agnes' belting diva vocals" and suggested that it could become one of 2010's major summer dance hits.
A similar opinion was brought by "Entertainment-focus.com" who said that "On and On is in a similar vein to Agnes’ previous singles. With Europop beats and dance rhythms the song is aimed squarely at the clubs. A better offering than I Need You Now, the song could catch on in the pre-Summer charts as people get ready for their holidays in the sun or nights out on the town. Agnes’ strong vocals sets the song aside from others in the same genre and we really hope she can find another smash-hit with this track. Though they say that "On and On" probably won't enter the top-ten chart, it is better than other dance pop, such as Cascada.
