The singers later took toTwitterto ask who the fans would like to see them perform with.[45]On September 8, 2010, the singer announced his touring trek (and revealed it was solo) for North America.

The Max Martin-produced 'DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love' shows 'OMG' didn't satisfy Usher's dance-pop Jones, but he's hardly gone soft: 'Hot Tottie,' with Jay-Z, is nasty in all the right ways. "[17]Sarah Rodman ofThe Boston Globecomplimented its "compact running time" and stated "Instead of ho-hum filler,'Versus'offers the strongest arrows in Usher’s quiver ".[49]About.com's Mark Edward Nero gave the EP three-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that Usher has "regained his mojo", while recommending it to fans of his music: "nine songs - seven of them new - clocking in at 38 minutes is a good deal for this solid package of music."[14]Steve Jones ofUSA TodaygaveVersusthree out of four stars and called it "an abbreviated batch of fresh songs that can stand alone or as part of a deluxe original".[50]Billboard's Gail Mitchell commended the album's guest artists and wrote that it "alternately bumps and throbs as a reinvigorated Usher further paves his comeback path"[51]

Jeff Weiss of theLos Angeles Timesgave the EP two-and-a-half out of four stars and found "Hot Tottie"to be" intoxicating as its namesake ", but disapproved of some of the generic points and pop efforts.[13]The Washington Post's Sean Fennessey criticized its pop-oriented tracks, stating "Usher works best in emotional hailstorms, not candy rain", and viewed that it "finds him inPeter Panmode, digging for remnants of a younger self that never existed ".[52]Andy Kellman ofAllMusicgave it two out of five stars and said that it "mostly resembles a batch of leftovers from his weakest album, even though it functioned as a momentum maintainer". Kellman dismissed its productions as "innocuous Euro-pop" and "merely passable contemporary R&B".[1]In a one-star review,Slant Magazine's Erich Henderson pannedVersusas a "wretched collection of failed club-sex jams".[53]
