John Bush from AllMusic viewed "Move on Baby" as a "continent-wide Hi-NRG hit".^[1] Larry Flick from Billboard commented, "After several years of building a loyal following of hi-NRG and Euro-pop fans, Italo-house act Capella appears prepped to take on the rest of the club world. "Move On Baby" kicks with a perfect blend of foamy froth and underground depth." He added it as a "cute and catchy song".^[2] Taylor Parkes from Melody Maker described it as "exotic", "refreshingly un-English" and "glorious". He also noted its "face-punching beats".^[3] Andy Beevers from Music Week rated the song five out of five and named it Pick of the Week in the category of Dance, writing that it "relies heavily on an anthemic synth riff that is very similar to those used on the last two Cappella hits. The cheesy rap and screaming vocals provide the distinguishing features. Zero ponts for originality, but maximum marks for chart potential."^[4] James Hamilton from the Record Mirror Dance Update deemed it a "Culture Beat-type typical cheesy Italo pop raver".^[5]
