Critical reception
Kat Bein of Billboard called the track a "summer song with dance-pop appeal and island rhythm",{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/8462286/jax-jones-mabel-ring-ring-rich-the-kid|title = Jax Jones, Mabel & Rich the Kid 'Ring' in the Weekend on New Track: Listen|magazine = Billboard}} and said the track has "a certain richness to it, a sensual depth to counterbalance the catchy pop hook, a definite groove to get things heated as the sun goes down".
Music video
The music video opens with a mock commercial for the late-night hotline "0-800-RING-RING", and features Mabel as a worker at a call centre, as well as shots of Jax Jones and Mabel dancing in hallways with light displays behind them; Rich the Kid does not appear.{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/8464100/jax-jones-mabel-ring-ring-video|title = Jax Jones & Mabel Catch an Old School Vibe for 'Ring Ring' Video: Watch|magazine = Billboard}} Billboard compared its "vibes" to those of late 1990s and 2000s videos, calling it a "throwback", and acclaimed Jax Jones' and Mabel's outfits.
