Critical Reception
"Oh" received positive reviews from music critics. Pop Matters described the track as "dark" and "infectious", "whose beat approximates the David Banner-constructed "Rubber Band Man" banger." Musicomh.com opined that "Oh" is "far and away the album's best track" and the "ultimate cruising tune." Virgin Media wrote that it was "the album's standout track". One negative review of the song, published by The Situation, said the song was "not as strong" as other songs on the album, "as Luda’s raspy vocals overpower Ciara’s sweet tone."
"Oh" went on to win an award at the 2006 ASCAP award shows for "Most Performed Songs" with the two previous singles from Goodies, "Goodies" and "1, 2 Step." The song also took home the award for "Choice Music Make-Out Song" at the 2005 Teen Choice Awards and for "Coolest Collabo" at the 2006 Vibe Awards.
