An accompanying music video, directed by Mark Kohr, was released for the single, featuring Morissette at a festival, driving her car in black and white form, which also received positive reviews.

Sheet music for "Hand in My Pocket" is in the key of G major in common time with a tempo of 92 beats per minute.

"[6] British magazine Music Week rated the song four out of five, adding, "The second single from the abrasive and rampantly successful Alanis sees her Marianne Faithfull-circa-Wydja Do It attitude coupled with pop metal guitar and loping bass for maximum effect.

In New Zealand the song peaked at number seven and was certified platinum by Recorded Music NZ (RMNZ), for shipments of 30,000 copies.
