Critical reception
Johnny Loftus of AllMusic described the song as "harmless, high-fiving fun," making note of its "ear-splitting guitars and muscular drum fills". It was listed at number six on "The 50 Worst Songs of the 2000s" by The Village Voice. Christopher Weingarten wrote that it was "a soft-R ode to screeching nonsense words that mean genitals."Track listings and formats
