Critical reception

Andy Beevers from Music Week gave the song four out of five and named it Pick of the Week in the category of Dance, writing, "Hoot on the heels of his 'That's How I'm Livin'' hit comes this rap about the truce between the LA gangs. Once again London's Ronin Inc handle the remixing duties, rather improbably incorporating elements of Mike Oldfield's 'Tubular Bells'. Worth watching." ^[3]
