Critical reception
Carrie Battan of Pitchfork said that the song, "sounds as though it could fold over onto itself for an eternity." She also states that vocalist AME does well in adding her vocals to the "janky house beat" of the song.
Music video
A music video to accompany the release of "Need U (100%)" was first released onto YouTube on 22 February 2013 at a total length of three minutes and eleven seconds. The video, shot in Los Angeles and starring Rique, features a guy who has his tape recorder stuck inside his body and is frustrated that whenever the song plays everyone around him starts dancing. He decides it's time to remove the device through surgery and after it is removed he looks at the recorder and stops the song from playing, leaving the people around him disappointed. The music video was directed by Ian Robertson.
