Reception and legacy
Christopher Rosa of VH1 said the song's lyrics were misogynistic, and wrote, "Chad and the gang paints a picture of a woman being submissive to a man here. It doesn't get more misogynistic than a man saying he prefers women with their pants off." In 2025, Graham Hartmann of Metal Injection included the track on his list of the "10 Greatest Divorced Dad Rock Songs of All Time", where he wrote, "I've never been to a Canadian strip club, but I imagine the day shift crew goes wild when Nickelback's daddy-dom anthem comes on."Track listings
