The song received mixed to positive reviews from critics complimenting on the synth noises but criticizing Walsh's contribution to the song. An accompanying music video, directed by the Lennox Brothers, sees Santos trying to win Walsh's affections during speed dating. It was noted that Walsh looked like her band-mate Cheryl Cole. The single entered at number eight and thirteen on the UK Singles Chart and Irish Singles Chart, respectively.

In an interview with MTV United Kingdom, Santos revealed that Walsh replaced a male vocalist on the song. "I think it suits a girl's vocal more. It’s more of a softer song and Kimberley did a great job on the vocals." He also said that Gary Barlow had sorted out the duet. "I was a big fan of Girls Aloud for years and I mentioned that to Gary Barlow who is a friend of Kim’s. I said I would be up for working with her. He spoke to her and she was up for it, so we made 'Like U Like'."
