Writing for USA Today ,Steve Jones commented that Mannie Fresh's "hard-grooving beats pulse under songs such as the autobiographical 'In My Life'". [3] Matt Cibula of PopMatters regarded the song as the "centerpiece" of Juve the Great,adding that "The ostensible subject of it all is how Juve and Mannie want to live big-baller lives and just don't care about anything anyone says,but the real subject is how Mannie's tones are turned to drones by Watts' meddling."
