Critical response to the song was initially positive, with it considered to be a favorite to win the contest. However, the Eurovision performance itself mainly received negative reviews, with the performance seen as "cheap". "Rockefeller Street" had commercial success both in 2011 and later increased success throughout the late 2010s. The song peaked at number three in Estonia.
Years after the song was performed at Eurovision, an unofficial nightcore version of the song became an Internet meme, leading to an increase in streams of the song and Jaani releasing an official nightcore version of the song.
