critically, "the a.v. club" called the song "a modern-day 'conjunction junction'", writing: "the song combines cheeky grammar lessons with a lamentation for society's diminished writing skills." cnn made a similar comparison, believing the song "could follow in the grand tradition of "schoolhouse rock!"". "rolling stone" wrote that "the schoolhouse r&b of 'word crimes' is clever enough to win over the harshest critics of robin thicke's 'blurred lines.'" abc news characterized the parody as "spot-on". "billboard" called the song the album's best, writing that "[a] more satirical, cynical parodist could have taken this in a million super-searing directions, but al isn't interested in commenting on thicke's alleged misogyny."
