Reception and legacy

In 2025, Will Howard of Far Out Magazine ranked the song at second on his list of "Five pop-punk songs from the 2000s so bad they feel like parodies". He wrote: "SR-71, the long forgotten no-hopers behind perfectly decent pop-punk bop 'Right Now', found themselves with the same problem every band with a shock hit for a debut single has. What to do next? Well, Mitch Allan’s band came to the conclusion that their best choice for a follow-up hit was a smug, hookless dirge about how no one can stop him from speaking his mind. The music video gets interrupted with random audio samples from the Bush/Gore 2000 election campaign, and they’re the best parts of the song. Dire." [1]
