Critical reception
Alex Fletcher of Digital Spy said "Fortunately, though the glitz and glamour may have faded somewhat, musically they appear to be undergoing a renaissance. If this RedOne-produced single is a fair representation, then their upcoming album may live up its billing as the band's best since 1999's Millennium. Fans who always preferred their banging pop tracks to the syrupy ballads will certainly be satisfied with this throbbing anthem, which has a chorus just begging for some old-school BSB dance moves." (3/5 stars)[1] This Must Be Pop listed the song in their top 5 most underrated RedOne productions.[2] The Song won "International Song of the Year" at the Japan Gold Disc Awards.[3]
Music video
The video for "Straight Through My Heart" was filmed on August 7 and 8 of 2009 in downtown Los Angeles, California. It was directed by Kai Regan.
