Critical reception
J.D. Considine from The Baltimore Sun described the song as "feisty" and "Chic-style".[1] Larry Flick from Billboard magazine wrote, "This time, she's flexing her earthy alto voice on 'New Kind of Medicine', a sparkling disco bauble produced with an old-school hand by D-Influence. Talk about sticky hooks! Baby, you won't be able to shake the chorus from this winner after one spin." He concluded, "This woman has grown into a supreme singer."[2]
