Critical reception

Jonathan Ringen of Rolling Stone called it a "standout" on the album, praising Polow da Don for his ability to "mix[es] flamenco guitar, haunted-house synths and a Reznor-hard beat into a menacing banger".[2] J-23 of HipHopDX put it alongside "Touch That Ass" as highlights that "display[s] Polow's dynamic production and Rich's style."[3] Reptilia of AbsolutePunk called it "a fantastic marching band-based number and an interesting tribute to the South's love of marching bands and football."[4]
