Pitchfork Media commented on the track by saying "If the heyday of disco had produced a rapper, it might have been Atlanta's Trinidad James. When he talks about gold-- he's obsessed with it-- it's not so much about status as it is about sheer flamboyance. 'I'm too fly/ You know this/ Let me give your ass a checklist', he raps on 'All Gold Everything', the letters slithering off his tongue around a slow, exaggerated ripple of a beat. The track comes from his mixtape Don't Be S.A.F.E., an excellent debut that toggles seamlessly between snaggle-toothed drug talk, flashy boasts and earnest self-deprecation." [11]
The music video shot in Atlanta, Georgia was directed by Motion Family and premiered on MTV Jams on November 18, 2012. [7] [12] As of November 2021, the music video has over 40 million views on YouTube. [13]
