Upon its release, "Good Time" received mixed to negative reviews from music critics. Natasha Shankar ofShe Knows gave the music video, though not the song, a positive review, saying "So from a dance standpoint it's not half bad. But Hilton has some talent. She's not aHeidi Montag, folks. But I've been kind enough to include the music video, and not the single alone. Why? Because, at the very least, you get to watch Hilton's glorious figure and perfect pout for the next five minutes".[9]
Mikael Wood ofLos Angeles Times gave a negative review, saying "Yet with its succession of sonic and lyrical cliches -- "haters," "sexy girls," laser-light synth squiggles—the song never summons anything approaching a recreational vibe; it's purely an exercise in brand maintenance, a working holiday that even Lil Wayne can't lighten with an amazingly perfunctory guest verse in which he admits, I can't tell you what's what".[10] Sam Lansky ofIdolator gave a very positive review, saying "The Afrojack-produced track hits solid marks with chilly synths that evoke Gina G's 1996 hit "Ooh Aah… Just A Little Bit" and lyrics that feel quintessentially Paris".[11] Marc Hogan ofSpin gave a negative review calling it "unapologetically dumb".[12]
Mike Powell ofRolling Stone gave the song 1.5 out of 5 stars, saying "No needless disrespect to Hilton, who has put out listenable and even enjoyable music in the past, butrave-by-numbers tracks like this are often the reasonpop music gets a bad rap to begin with. Worst off, sadly, is Wayne, a rapper who once had everything to lose".[1] Nathan Jolly ofThe Music Network gave the song 3 out of 5 stars, saying "Truthfully if this single was released by any other artist, it would be a hit, but Hilton has proven so polarising that nothing short of an Adele-style smash will really suffice, and as you listen you can't help but sense those in the wings with their claws out, waiting to pounce".[8]
Themusic video for "Good Time" was recorded in a mansion in the Hollywood Hills and was directed byHannah Lux Davis. It was released on October 8, 2013.[13] and visual effects were created by GloriaFX. The music video finds Hilton beguiling a party and cooing suggestively over a juiced-up dance beat. In the clip, Hilton rolls around poolside, fist-pumps some glowsticks, and poses luxuriously, whileLil Wayne raps lines like, "I walked up to a big butt/And asked her ass, 'But what?'" Hilton wears a swimsuit studded withSwarovski crystals.[14] The video premiered on RollingStone.com on October 7, 2013.[15]
