Chart performance Glenn Gamboa of Newsday said that on the track, Songz "displays a more flexible delivery than usual." DJBooth said, "Traditional R&B depends on three things: vocals, writing, and production. Ajitpaul Mangat of Tiny Mix Tapes noted the song as some of the album's generic work, stating, "with its run-of-the-mill lyrics about longing hearts, it sounds like the work of any middling R&B singer." Tyler Lewis of PopMatters said "I Need A Girl" was among the album's best songs, that it and " Neighbors Know My Name", "thump as they should." David Jeffries of Allmusic noted the song as a standout track from Ready. Nero also commented that the song sounded insincere compared with the rawly sexual songs on the album. Mark Edward Nero of said that the song was "sappy" and "cliche", trying to replicate the success of " Can't Help But Wait", but "doesn't come close". The song is lyrically about finding and pleasing the right woman, through lines such as, "I don't even know your name, but I know that I'm your man and you are my girl, if I ever meet you I'm gonna give you the world, Baby please believe me when I tell you that I need a girl." The song has been described to be a mix of Usher and Justin Timberlake, and has been compared to Chris Brown's " With You."
