Lopez's vocals for "Dance Again" were arranged by RedOne and produced by [[Kuk Harrell]]. They were recorded at Pinky's Palace. Pitbull's vocals were recorded by Al Burna at Al Burna Studios, [[Miami, Florida]]. Chris "Tek" O'Ryan and Trevor Muzzy handled audio engineering of the song, with assistance from Anthony Falcone and Peter Mack. O'Ryan and Trevor Muzzy were in charge of vocal editing. All instruments in the song were played and programmed by RedOne, who also produced the song. The song was later mixed by Trevor Muzzy.<ref name="Album credits"/> In an interview with [[Ryan Seacrest]], Lopez revealed that she loved being able to collaborate with RedOne and Pitbull again. She stated: "We had a great chemistry the last time, and it was like 'We're going to have to do something again.' And this was the perfect song. I love the message of the song. That when something bad happens, your life is not over. You have to get up. You're gonna live. You're gonna to be okay.

"[[Goin' In]]" was written by Michael Warren, [[GoonRock|Jamahl Listenbee]], Joseph Angel, Coleridge Tillman, [[The Writing Camp|David Quiñones]] and [[Flo Rida|Tramar Dillard]]. Lopez's vocals were produced by Harrell and recorded at Pinky's Palace. Josh Gudwin and O'Ryan handled audio engineering of the song, with assistance from Falcone and Mack. The song features additional vocals from American rapper [[Lil Jon]]. [[GoonRock]] produced and later mixed the song alongside Kenny Moran at The House on the Hill Studios in Los Angeles, California.<ref name="Album credits"/> Of GoonRock, Lopez commented by stating that he is "very forward with his sound". After recording her vocals for the song, [[Flo Rida]] recorded a rap verse for the song. Those involved in the production of the song were extremely happy with the song before Flo Rida's rap appeared on it, but once his vocals were on the song it "took it over the top top".<ref name="radio1" /> When choosing who she wanted to feature on the song, Lopez had several other rappers in mind, such as [[Big Sean]]. Lopez revealed: "We had a couple of people who said yes, that they would get on it, but [Flo Rida] just seemed like the perfect one." She further explained that the style of the song "really fit Flo Rida"; "It was half-dance, but half kind of hard too."<ref name="MTV Perfect">{{cite web |last=Mitchell |first=John |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1690516/jennifer-lopez-flo-rida-goin-in-perfect.jhtml |title=Jennifer Lopez Thought Flo Rida Was 'Perfect' For 'Goin' In'&nbsp;– Music, Celebrity, Artist News |work=MTV News |publisher=MTV Networks |date=July 25, 2012 |access-date=December 30, 2012 |archive-date=August 28, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120828234630/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1690516/jennifer-lopez-flo-rida-goin-in-perfect.jhtml |url-status=livedead }}</ref>

''Dance Again... The Hits'' received generally positive reviews from contemporary music critics. At [[Metacritic]], which assigns a [[Standard score|normalized]] rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an [[weighted mean|average]] score of 72, based on four reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".<ref name="Metacritic"/> Sal Cinquemani of ''[[Slant Magazine]]'' wrote that the "most immediately striking thing" about the compilation is "just how many hits [she] has racked up over the years".<ref name="Slant Magazine"/> "So many, in fact, that there's a hefty handful of singles missing from the standard edition of the album", using her number-one single "[[All I Have (song)|All I Have]]" as an example of this.<ref name="Slant Magazine"/> He stated that Lopez's "output has been nothing if not on trend", and that ''Dance Again... The Hits'' plays not only as a chronicle of her music career, but of "[[pop music]] as a whole since just before the turn of the century", with genres spanning [[Latin pop]], [[dance music|dance]], and [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]].<ref name="Slant Magazine"/> According to Cinquemani, the album also serves as a "historical record" of who the rappers [[du jour]] were "over the last dozen years or so", from [[Big Pun]], [[Fat Joe]], [[Ja Rule]], and [[Lil Wayne]].<ref name="Slant Magazine"/> He concluded by stating that if the compilation "proves anything" it's that Lopez is, "if not the queen, then at least the duchess of reinvention and should never be counted out".<ref name="Slant Magazine"/>
 
Michael Cragg of [[BBC Music]] wrote that it's "surprising that she hadn't unleashed a hits collection before now given that she's what you might politely call a 'singles artist'".<ref name="BBC Music"/> He questioned the song choices, writing that the person who made the decision to not include "[[Papi (song)|Papi]]" needs to have a "long, hard look in the mirror", although it's "hard to argue with most of what's on offer", Lopez "slipping effortlessly into different guises with each song".<ref name="BBC Music">{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/dfcg |title=Music&nbsp;– Review of Jennifer Lopez&nbsp;– Dance Again...

Erlewine, nonetheless, said that "[the album] does have the familiar tunes, so it serves its purpose".<ref name="Allmusic"/>
 
Irving Tan of ''[[Sputnikmusic]]'' put ''Dance Again... The Hits'' into the category of a greatest hits album that "you get facial brickbat of moderate-to-raw disappointment at the discovery of how thin and forced the artist's discography really is".<ref name="Sputnikmusic"/> He wrote that having another artist featured on nine of the thirteen tracks "gives the impression that as a product, having Jennifer Lopez alone is simply not enough".<ref name="Sputnikmusic"/> He further criticized the decision to include the [[Murder Inc Records|Murder]] remixes of "[[Ain't It Funny]]" and "[[I'm Real (Jennifer Lopez song)|I'm Real]]" over the original studio versions, stating that it was almost like "Sony Music held their hands up and admitted that the initial cuts that they published simply weren't up to scratch".<ref name="Sputnikmusic"/> Tan concluded that for a greatest hits album, the track listing is "simply all over the place", with no indication that the record executives or Lopez "looked around for a logical start" or an "easy access ramp to her seven-album canon".<ref name="Sputnikmusic"/>
