A remixed version of the song,which adds Obie Trice and Bobby Creekwater,appears on Eminem Presents:The Re-Up (2006). Eminem does not have a verse on the remix;he does,however,still rap the intro to the song. [3] [ better source needed ]
AllMusic wrote a mixed opinion:"sex song that finds Shady sounding as if he's drifting along in his own orbit. "Shake That" has an incongruous Nate Dogg crooning the chorus." [4] Pitchfork thinks that this song is just another "lesser version of Eminem songs that already piss me (critic) off." [5] IGN called it a "rump mover" and wrote a positive review:"a booty shaker,again showing promise in Em's production. It's still a pretty simple bump-n-shuffle number,but it swings with a sense of upbeat minimalism and takes his trademark dark sounds into a slightly lighter venue." [6] Sputnik Music opined,"Shake That features Nate Dogg,and is the quintessential club banger". Rolling Stone called this song a "Nate Dogg throwaway". [7]
"Shake That" was nominated for "Best Rap/Sung Collaboration" at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards,but it lost to Justin Timberlake and T.I.'s "My Love". "Shake That" was certified gold in Sweden, [8] and platinum in Denmark, [9] both due to strong digital downloads.
