Critical reception[edit]
Robbie Daw of Idolator commented on the influence of Justin Timberlake's solo debut, Justified (2002), on the track's sound and wrote that "Body Moves" is "a tune that's not only a worth follow-up... but actually manages to top both of its successors."[3]
Music videos[edit]
The promotional music video set to the song premiered October 5, 2016 which also doubled as an advertisement for a line of Victoria's Secret lingerie, the video includes models Taylor Hill, Elsa Hosk, Jasmine Tookes, Sara Sampaio and Josephine Skriver.[4] The official music video for "Body Moves" was directed by Hannah Lux Davis and premiered October 11, 2016.[5] Described by critics as "provocative," the video finds Joe Jonas shirtless and engaging in sexual behaviour with model Charlotte McKinney in an elevator, amongst other clips of the band members and "barely clothed" dancers.[2]
