"Burnin' Up" has received very positive reviews from music critics, most of whom commended and praised Jessie J's vocal performance. Idolator gave the song a positive review saying "Like 'Bang Bang', it’s all about those diva-sized pipes (and some major heavy breathing!), as Jessie struts through the fire and loses her mind. 2 Chainz comes in later for his own spitfire contribution", adding that "the song’s a catchy burst of energy for sure, and who knows? Perhaps even American radio will be set ablaze".[5]

Music Times also gave the song a very positive review, stating that "the bombastic, ominous opening has its tension cut quite quickly with uncharacteristically restrained vocals from J, though she soon builds up to those powerhouse volumes and notes that she's been well known for".[6] Billboard awarded the song 3 out of 5 stars, saying that "While her vocals flirt with ostentatiousness, 2 Chainz is all chill, smoothly rhyming 'corridor' with 'Oreo'."[7] The Wire was less positive in his review, saying that compared to 'Bang Bang', the song is a "stepdown", adding that "'Burnin' Up' makes it clear Jessie has the recipe down – take one strong vocalist, add popular producer and rap verse, stir. But like any good cook, the recipe isn't enough"."Burnin Up" was less successful than her previous single "Bang Bang", peaking at number 86 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 100 on the Canadian Hot 100.

In Europe, the song wasn't successful charting at number 44 in Belgium. The single is among Jessie J's least successful in the United Kingdom charting at number 73 selling only 5,011 copies and 12,000 in total.
