Opening to mixed reviews from music critics, "In My Pocket" instantly entered the top 30 in Australia and New Zealand. In the United States, the single failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number two on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.

Critical reception

"In My Pocket" received mixed reviews from music critics. Slant Magazine's Sal Cinquemani gave the song a positive review, favoring its departure from Mandy Moore's previous singles and calling it "home to one of the best pop hooks in recent memory" and stating that the lyrics were "far more penetrating than anything on her peers' plates."{{Cite web|url=https://www.slantmagazine.com/music/mandy-moore-mandy-moore/|title=Review: Mandy Moore, Mandy Moore|first=Sal|last=Cinquemani|date=June 18, 2001|website=Slant Magazine}} Entertainment Weekly's Matt Diehl, however, gave it a C rating, stating his disturbance at "hearing the 17-year-old moaning, 'How much for your love?'" Diehl was also unhappy with its lyrical content, relating that "lyrics that dance around naughtiness... devolve into nonsense."{{Cite magazine |url=https://ew.com/article/2001/05/14/my-pocket/ |title=In My Pocket Review | Music Reviews and News |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |access-date=April 3, 2014 |archive-date=December 13, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141213082915/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0%2C%2C109541%2C00.html |url-status=live }} People Magazine said that it was "laced with sinewy Middle Eastern rhythms... just as right for the summer."{{Cite web |url=http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20134730,00.html |title=Picks and Pans Review: Mandy Moore : People.com |access-date=April 3, 2014 |archive-date=October 21, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131021085801/http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20134730,00.html |url-status=dead }}
