Critical response

Mike Wass of Idolator was complimentary of the song describing it as a "killer single". He did label Pitbull's lyrics "questionable" but are overlooked as he "injects enough humor into the song". Steve Adams of the Winnipeg Free Press gave the song a lukewarm review, giving it two and half stars. He wrote that, compared to "Timber", "Wild Wild Love" was not "nearly as gratingly awful, but it's not anything amazing either". Rolling Stone's Joe Gross only commented that Pitbull "doesn't sound entirely sure who are".

"Wild Wild Love" peaked at number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it Pitbull's seventeenth top 40 hit; it became G.R.L.'s only single to impact the chart before the group disbanded in 2015. It sold 767,000 copies in the US as of March 2015.
