criticism

The song usually received positive reviews from music critics, with some saying it was one of the standout pieces from the EP of the same name.

"The laser-blasting inanity of the title track, which ends with someone bragging," I'm eating Fun Dip right now / Not givin 'a fuck. " Not a bad credo for music that makes a disco sugar high feel downright pornographic "

- Jon Dolan ( Rolling Stone )

"Massively enjoyable, massively concussive collection of blips and bursts that sounds like something Moby might hear in his head during a heart attack, so thoroughly and dyspeptically is dubstep's characteristic bass wobble distorted and pushed into the red"

- Garret Kamps ( Spin )
