criticism
The song received mostly positive, but also negative criticism. A selection:
"There are a few more encouraging signs, such as the Doors-featuring" Breakin 'a Sweat, "which combines proggy guitar hooks, psychedelic organ chords, and Jim Morrison samples with a snarling, Prodigy-esque vocal and a filthy slab of dub bass to produce one of the year's most unexpectedly successful partnerships "
"The Doors join Skrillex on" Breakn 'A Sweat, "creating a marriage between the former's rock stylings and the latter's traditional techno. A fun song with plenty of vocal integration, "Breakn 'a Sweat" doesn't blow the door off its hinges, but it will keep you dancing until the music stops. "
"" Breakn a Sweat "is a more patient, less aggressive tune - but it might be because Skrillex was trying to mind his manners"
