Rap-Up magazine said that "Ne-Yo pops the cork and toasts to the good life on 'Champagne Life'". [He] evokes his idol Michael Jackson on the slinky production, which goes down smoothly".[3] Mark Edward Nero from About.com praised the song, saying that it's "a Michael Jackson-esque tune about enjoying the type of life where "trouble is a bubble in a champagne glass" and "dreams and reality are one and the same". He also said that the song is catchier than "Beautiful Monster".[4]
