Critical reception
AllMusic wrote a mixed opinion: "sex song that finds Shady sounding as if he's drifting along in his own orbit. "Shake That" has an incongruous Nate Dogg crooning the chorus."{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/curtain-call-the-hits-mw0000673369|title=Curtain Call: The Hits - Eminem - Songs, Reviews, Credits, Awards - AllMusic|author=Stephen Thomas Erlewine|work=AllMusic|access-date=25 April 2015|archive-date=29 March 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210329125314/https://www.allmusic.com/album/curtain-call-the-hits-mw0000673369|url-status=live}} Pitchfork thinks that this song is just another "lesser version of Eminem songs that already piss me (critic) off."{{cite web|url=http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/2773-curtain-call-the-hits/|title=Eminem|work=Pitchfork|access-date=25 April 2015|archive-date=17 April 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150417045243/http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/2773-curtain-call-the-hits/|url-status=live}} IGN called it a "rump mover" and wrote a positive review: "a booty shaker, again showing promise in Em's production. It's still a pretty simple bump-n-shuffle number, but it swings with a sense of upbeat minimalism and takes his trademark dark sounds into a slightly lighter venue."{{cite web|url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2005/12/22/eminem-curtain-call?page=1|title=Eminem - Curtain Call|work=IGN|date=22 December 2005|access-date=25 April 2015|archive-date=27 May 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240527165837/https://www.ign.com/articles/2005/12/22/eminem-curtain-call?page=1|url-status=live}} Sputnik Music opined, "Shake That features Nate Dogg, and is the quintessential club banger". Rolling Stone called this song a "Nate Dogg throwaway".{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/curtain-call-the-hits-20060112|title=Eminem Curtain Call: The Hits Album Review|magazine=Rolling Stone|date=12 January 2006|access-date=25 April 2015|archive-date=24 April 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110424045120/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/curtain-call-the-hits-20060112|url-status=live}}
