Arielle Tschinkel of Idolator wrote that the video's premise emphasizes "that girls can be whoever they want to be," while the Daily Mail added that Steinfeld is "celebrating being a woman" in the video. The clip begins with Steinfeld rebuffing a man who claims she is "not like most girls." Throughout the majority of the video, Steinfeld "channels" various different personas, including a boxer, party girl, and a bookworm. The official music video for "Most Girls" was directed by Hannah Lux Davis and premiered on May 23, 2017. Steinfeld performed "Most Girls" live for the first time at the 2017 Radio Disney Music Awards on April 29, 2017.

Mike Wass of Idolator wrote that "Most Girls" is "as catchy as it is relatable and inspiring." Jonathan Currinn of Outlet Mag wrote that the song's lyrics "are incredibly clever, really proving that Hailee Steinfeld has what it takes to inspire women," and also praised the "rhythmically groovy" but not over-produced beat.
