Critical reception
Steve "Flash" Juon of RapReviews gave a positive review, writing "the song couldn't fail. It even offered a surprisingly sober sentiment for what was otherwise a party jam courtesy of Lord Jamar: 'Set to show/everybody in the party that we're nice without sipping on Bacardi.'"[2]
