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.
