criticism

Club Can't Handle Me received mostly positive reviews. For example, Bill Lamb from About.com says that the song may be superficial, but there are passages that you can't get out of your ears while it all sounds effortless. It awards four out of five possible stars.

Dara Hickey, Rating , of Unreality Shout explains that Flo Rida can make a club-worthy song without the help of the producer and co-copywriter . She also ironically notes that David Guetta is a man who doesn't just turn knobs:

“What's that? David Guetta is a GUY !? What's with all the knob-twiddling? "

"What's this? David Guetta is a MAN !? What about all that turning a button? "

According to Nick Levine of Digital Spy , Club Can't Handle Me is a "huge party banger" and David Guetta's most fun production since I Gotta Feeling . But the text is a parade of complete nonsense and would only describe conceit. He also awarded four stars out of five.
