Critical reception

Charlie Amter of East Bay Express that the duet with Peaches results in a "sick triple-X South Beach dance floor anthem that manages to be both hilarious and sexual at the same time." [1] Likewise, Louis Pattinson of NME praised Peaches' rapping and commented that the "extremely lewd" song was the "best of all" of Only Tonight's tracks. [2]
