James Hamilton from the magazine's RM Dance Update deemed it a " Ikettes ' I'm Blue' based (that's Tina you can hear) funkily rolling sexy lurcher". Refreshing change, `ey, guys?" Insider stated "this catchy song helped make Salt-N-Pepa bonafide stars and marked the beginnings of their artistic freedom." Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented that it has "a spicey poppy rap style we had almost forgotten." Alan Jones from Music Week rated the song four out of five, stating that "it is a perfect showcase for the rappers, who feed off each other well, and with great humour." Laid-back and all, the trio takes control as they scope themselves out a guy and make the moves on him.

This song uses a sample of a version of Ike Turner's " I'm Blue (The Gong-Gong Song)" from The Sweet Inspirations, and the line "the voodoo that you do so well" was quoted from Cole Porter's 1929 song " You Do Something to Me". The success of both this single and the follow-up single " Whatta Man" propelled Very Necessary to sell over 5 million copies in the US, becoming the group's best-selling album. Two months after its release, "Shoop" was certified gold by the RIAA it went on to sell 1.2 million copies. Released late in 1993, it became one of the group's more successful singles, reaching number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping the Hot Rap Singles chart at number one (their second single to do so). The song features an uncredited verse by rapper Big Twan. It was produced by Mark Sparks and group member Salt. " Shoop" is the lead single released from Salt-N-Pepa's fourth studio album, Very Necessary.
