Keir McFarlane directed the song's music video, featuring the artists performing in a nightclub.
[1] Sampling Nice & Smooth's "Hip Hop Junkies", "Do You Wanna Get Funky" is a Snoop Doggy Dogg-esque ragga, hip hop, and P-funk track "with highly charged vocal performances" and "a slick and insinuating groove that is padded with ear-pleasing synth lines".
[2][3][4] Larry Flick from Billboard praised "Do You Wanna Get Funky", predicting that its "killer hook and a memorable refrain" will "push the act up the charts once again".
[2] Troy J. Augusto from Cash Box highlighted its "heavy-duty dance groove, some tasty toast-vox from Trilogy and a heaping helping of Ms. Wash’s operatic voice", and also suggested the "fiery track" could be a hit on "a large cross-section of contemporary radio".
"[3] Brad Beatnik from Music Week's RM Dance Update called it the best cut "on a rather patchy new album", positively commenting on the choice of sample and "superb diva vocals from Martha Wash and Zelma Davis".
