Critical reception
Steve "Flash" Juon of RapReviews described the song as "one of those Neptunes tracks that's right for being so wrong, a feeling those who heard DJ Premier and Jeru the Damaja wrecking 'Come Clean' to a decade ago can relate to." He also commented that despite the simple production, "at times a pile of tools seems to clatter to the floor in a cacophony of noise; most notably after the first chorus. It's electronic, obtuse, and has enough boom and pound for Busta to tie it together with his manic energy that makes even a whispered rap seem louder than a thunderstorm."[1] Preezy Brown of Revolt called the song a "futuristic sounding club banger" and the "2003 equivalent to 'Planet Rock.'"[2]
