Critical reception

Reviewing Ain't a Damn Thing Changed for The Quietus, Angus Batey wrote that "Hip Hop Junkies" "is the one that proves above all others that this album should have been a ginormous global smash", praising the song for simplicity, the "irresistibly silly pop sample" of "I Think I Love You", and "some inspired stream-of-consciousness gibberish" from Greg Nice and Smooth B.^[1]
