"Go Round" received mixed reviews from most music critics. Tetsuo Hiraga was positive towards the track, commending the "thick violent beat" and her softer vocals, he labelled the track "cool and sweet". As a double a-side single, he concluded that her vocals and sound were "monumental". David Cirone from Nekopop.com commended the composition, but criticized the English versions by explaining, "The album’s one disappointing move is the re-recording of the double-A-single “Go Round/Yeah-Oh” Both songs contained a beautiful blend of English/Japanese in their original release a few months prior, but on the “album version,” they’ve gone full-English, it’s a step backwards. Amuro’s delivery is solid enough to keep it together, but the re-worked lyrics bring the song down to junior-high level."Toz from Selective Hearing was mixed in his review, stating ""Go Round" is the song with the lesser amount of electro-pop.

While it’s not my favourite Namie song, she sounds much more comfortable on this electro-pop bed than heard. But, it does sound a bit too lackluster, which could lose a few people." However, Michael McCarthy was critical towards the lyrics and composition, labelling them "bland" and found the composition "random dance pop" and not "impressive". Charting in conjunction with "Yeah-Oh", "Go Round/Yeah-Oh" entered and peaked at number four on the Japanese Oricon Singles Chart, her lowest charting single since 2005 single "White Light/Violet Sauce" at seven; the a-side single stayed in the charts for nine weeks, becoming her shortest spanning single in the charts since her 2007 single "Funky Town" with seven weeks. The single sold over 65,000 units in Japan, becoming her lowest selling single since "Funky Town" but were both surpassed by her 2012 single "Big Boys Cry/Beautiful" with 32,000 units sold in Japan. "Go Round/Yeah-Oh" was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan for shipments of 100,000 units in Japan.
