Scott Plagenhoef of Pitchfork was positive: "Em also shines when he spins well off his axis, as he does on (...) the R. Kelly/Triumph the Insult Comic Dog-baiting 'Ass Like That'," but he noted that the song sounds like mixtape material. "NME" magazine was proud, calling the song a "silly, groin-levelled that [demonstrates both producer and rhymer aren’t just on autopilot, they’re having a nice snooze in the cockpit while the plane plummets towards Earth. Or to put it another way, track is undercooked juvenile shite." "USA Today" wrote that "On the lighter side, name-drops the likes of Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen on 'Ass Like That'." RapReviews noted that "In 'Ass Like That' Slim impersonates Triumph the Insult Comic Dog for three perverse verses of ogling over the Olsen twins and booty bashing Hilary Duff." Josh Love of "Stylus Magazine" was negative: "'Ass Like That', Em’s 'response' to Triumph, fares better, and actually makes a pretty salient point about Hollywood's fetishization of barely legal starlets, but then you realize that it's AN ANSWER RECORD TO AN AWARDS SHOW BEEF WITH A HAND PUPPET and suddenly you're not even able to make eye contact with the album cover anymore" and he added that it does flash some Eminem's once-patented lyrical venom.
