Attitudinal rhymes are matched with fist-waving chorus chants."{{cite magazine|first= Larry |last= Flick |title= Single Reviews |magazine= Billboard |date= June 27, 1992 |page= 62 |accessdate= October 24, 2020 |url= https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-Billboard/90s/1992/Billboard-1992-06-27.pdf |author-link= Larry Flick}} People Magazine commented, "And cheek the speed at which they spin out their ragamuffin rhymes".
