Sara Stewart of the ''[[New York Post]]'' gave the film one out of four stars, saying "The dancing’sdancing's fine here, but there’sthere's little else to distinguish ''Make Your Move'', an entirely generic drama in which two characters actually say to one another, 'What if this doesn’tdoesn't work?' 'It has to.'

Inkoo Kang of the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' said "[Make Your Move]'s core dance styles are a wonderfully frenetic fusion of tap and hip-hop and a truly novel blend of Japanese taiko drumming and K-pop girl-group choreography. Whenever actor Derek Hough and BoA stop leaping and twirling, though, ''Make Your Move'' is an underwritten mess."<ref>{{cite web |url=httphttps://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-make-your-move-review-20140418,0,4796524.story#ixzz2zNJ4xuRr |title=Review: Korean pop music steps up in 'Make Your Move' |last=Kang |first=Inkoo |date=April 17, 2014 |work=Los Angeles Times |accessdateaccess-date=April 29, 2014}}</ref>

Frank Scheck of ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' said "Undemanding young audiences will hardly mind the one-note characterizations, formulaic storyline and banal dialogue even as they’llthey'll relate to the frequent nods to text messaging and YouTube videos gone viral... Hough’sHough's dancing is far more impressive than his acting, and BoA, despite her perky sexiness, is an even less compelling screen presence. But they certainly move well together, and that’sthat's pretty much all that matters here..."<ref>{{cite news |last=Scheck |first=Frank |date=April 17, 2014 |title=Make Your Move: Film Review |url=httphttps://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/make-your-move-film-review-697237 |work=Hollywood Reporter |accessdateaccess-date=April 29, 2014}}</ref>

Stephanie Merry of ''[[The Washington Post]]'' said "Although the bit of bedroom footwork was more laugh-inducing than anything, some of the dancing really is spectacular. Scenes from the competing clubs include impressive choreography and gravity-defying moves. If only the poorly delivered, trite dialogue and predictable plot aimed as high."<ref>{{cite news |last=Merry |first=Stephanie |date=April 18, 2014 |title=‘Make'Make Your Move’Move' movie review |url=httphttps://www.washingtonpost.com/goingoutguide/movies/make-your-move-movie-review/2014/04/16/9b3556e8-c4b4-11e3-b574-f8748871856a_story. |workarchive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190809124720/https://www.washingtonpost.com/goingoutguide/movies/make-your-move-movie-review/2014/04/16/9b3556e8-c4b4-11e3-b574-f8748871856a_story./ |url-status=dead |archive-date=August 9, 2019 |newspaper=Washington Post |accessdateaccess-date=April 29, 2014}}</ref>
