Reception

Writing for Pitchfork, Dan Kilian, a music critic, describes the first half of Miss E... So Addictive as "a six-track attack that's rare for any genre"[1] and notes that "Missy harmonizes with herself on 'One Minute Man', again keeping the beat simple under a squeaking synthesizer hook, and this time allowing Ludacris to reprise the record's freak-getting-on theme."[1]

Music video

A music video for "One Minute Man" was directed by Dave Meyers. Vibe editor Shenequa Golding called the visuals a "scandalous single fun. Whether it be a headless Missy dancing in the corner, or her sliding across the marble floor with the introduction of the fast-paced "Whatcha Gonna Do," the video proved to be more stimulating than the one minute some men can offer [...] All jokes aside, Missy could've taken a cliche uber sexual approach, but it's Missy, when has she ever been cliche or predictable?"[2]
