reception
The reviewer "Bill Lamb" gave Billionaire 4 out of 5 stars and said:
- The song "Billionaire" consists of a lively reggae melody, a wish of many of us. Most of McCoy's listeners are immediately drawn to this. Bruno Mars is just as catchy with his role as a singer as he was with BoB's number one pop hit "Nothin 'On You". This will be one of the final pop hits of summer 2010.
