Retro Pop Magazine wrote that "Betty Boo doesn't miss a beat as she bounces back with Boomerang", elaborating: "It's a nod to the past that touches on Betty Boo's career beginnings while placing her sound firmly in 2022, with an overarching sense of nostalgia that's in line with current chart trends."[7]

Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine felt that "While it's adeptly produced and mixed, Boomerang lacks the bite of Clarkson's underrated debut, Boomania, whose cartoonish pop-rap was shrewdly tempered by sleek, unassuming house tracks."[8]
