| − | A blog by ''Metal Hammer'' describes "WOW" as "a grinding, [[Nine Inch Nails|NIN]]-tinged sex anthem. Genuinely filthy and intensely sexy, The Wow sees Manson riding a dirty [[Twiggy Ramirez]] bassline in an almost spoken-word style. Quirky keyboards interject all the way through the track while sexual female groans (occasionally spoken in German) swarm behind the crunching industrial backing track. The WoW doesn't have anything in the way of memorable hooks but it is the sort of track that would sound amazing in a goth stripclub...if one existed."<ref name="March 27"/> | + | A blog by ''Metal Hammer'' describes "WOW" as "a grinding, [[Nine Inch Nails|NIN]]-tinged sex anthem.

Reviewing for Thrash Hits, Hugh Platt cited that "for every killer track there's one like 'WOW', a gutful of sickly electro honky-tonk with Manson at his lyrically most self-absorbed."<ref>[http://www.thrashhits.com/2009/05/album-marilyn-manson-the-high-end-of-low/ Album: Marilyn Manson - The High End Of Low].
