Critical reception
"Selecta 19" was well received by most critics. Writing for Dancing Astronaut, David Klemow heavily praised the song, noting Joyryde's signature style of "high-octane, bass-riddled house" and stating that no less should be expected from the bass house producer. Your EDM's Karlie Powell called the song full of "unrelenting, powerhouse bass", noting it as a showcase of the producers more "bouncy" style. EDM.com's Sarah Kocur described the song as capturing the essence of Joyryde's style, particularly noting the "infectious topline and high-impact, moving, four-on-the-floor beat." Joyryde commented on what he wanted to make with the song, calling it a "no ego, fun, jump up good vibe". Josue Paredes of EDMTunes affirmed that Joyryde "absolutely delivered that fun track he wanted to give to the fans." Run the Trap's Omar Serrano gave the song warm reception for its mix of "obnoxious" vocals alongside the "harsh" bassline, with the combination of two creating an "absolute nasty cut."
