Baker additionally wrote in the "Los Angeles Times" that West's verse was "playful but unremarkable", but compared Twista's verse to a "lyrical tornado". However, "Pitchfork" staff writer Sean Fennessey criticized Twista's involvement in a review of "Kamikaze", stating that West overshadowed him on the song. Writing for the same publication while reviewing "The College Dropout", Rob Mitchum berated the song's extended version, which he described Foxx as "overkill" and Twista as "depleted". Mitchum concluded that it " the best getting-it-on song ever written about getting-it-on songs".
