Reception

Rolling Stone said of the song "This gloriously showoffy track from M.I.A.'s speedrapping protégée features a monstrously syncopated break beat – it's hotter than a blonde and a brunette double-teaming an ice cream cone. This spare, cheap-effects jam from M.I.A.'s protégée is a hot early hip-hop throwback. Best is Rye Rye's voice: high-pitched like a chipmunk but not cuddly. 'Throw your fucking sets up!' she yells. Why not?"[ citation needed ] Seattle Weekly heralded the raw energy that Rye Rye captured in the song and the video, saying "Unlike a lot of music videos that portray a fantastical and glamorous lifestyle, Rye Rye injects edginess and grit that embody a real life feel." [2]
