“Bill Lamb of About.com commented that "Teenage Dream" "has the sound and feel of an instant classic love song" and is "probably the most universally appealing love song yet released in 2010". He also added, "Technically, Katy Perry is not a phenomenal singer, but she has proven very adept at helping to create phenomenal songs to sing." Craig Marks of Billboard said that along with "California Gurls", the songs "are textbook summer singles whose ingenious pop hooks and zillion-dollar drum tracks are stamped with Perry's knack for a memorable line and frothy, gum-snapping persona." James Montgomery of MTV commented that "Teenage Dream" showed a "definite change of pace for Perry. While it's still as saccharine sweet as her previous hits, there's also a rather, well, mature quality to it (despite the title)." Amos Barshad of New York said, "Right now, it’s feeling a bit too earnest, and not nearly as catchy as the follow-up single from Perry’s first album ('Hot n Cold,' most definitely still a jam). That said, we are now mentally preparing ourselves for its ubiquity." Alyssa Rosenberg of The Atlantic dismissed the lyrics as "simply annoying and incoherent" and added that "the hook and chorus aren't nearly compelling enough to pull me back into it."
