Critical reception

Simon Warner of Popmatters described the song as "an infectious rhythm track built on a chunky guitar line, riddled with snaking, Sly-like horn refrains, and edged with the multiple vocal harmonies." Alex Henderson of Allmusic called Mighty Mighty "a gritty funk smoker". The San Antonio Express also praised the song saying "A mighty soulful hit for this talented group. They've certainly got the right elements."
