Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review, stating:
"Rizzle Kicks have painted a rather bleak picture of today's yoof on their latest track. On paper it sounds like career suicide, but as always they pull it off with their razor-sharp lyrics and take-it-or-leave-it attitude [...] "Why is everybody so PC?/ It's not my fault if you take offence," they conclude - and if we're honest, we couldn't agree more." .

[2] The music video was directed by Jamie Thraves and was produced with the help of 150 young people between the ages of 16 and 24, as part of the GoThinkBig initiative.
