Sway Calloway said,
-"That song is crazy. Cause it sounds like a Kendrick song, with Gaga on it. Not like she overwhelmed the song. Cause you might not even know it was Gaga, If you didn't know the story behind it."
MTV said,
"On it the Fame Monster sang of being a sinner, while Kendrick rapped about the changes around him and the new hanger-ons he’s acquired since becoming more famous".
The Source said,
-"The track shows a more progressive sound from Kendrick's 2011 (The Source Magazine's Independent Album Of The Year) Section.80 release. Featuring none other than Lady Gaga whose voice is distorted (sounding like nothing she's ever put out) to keep from moving away from the albums main objective"
Hip Hop Wired said,
-"The song has a bluesy/jazz feel with some strong instrumentation from the unnamed producer on the record. The same voice altering feel that you get from the hook on "Cartoons and Cereal" is on this record with Gaga and K.Dot trading voices throughout the bridge and the hook. "I'm a sinner, I'm a sinner, please don't kill my vibe.Gaga also offers some mini-bars on the record but nothing to overtake the real star of the show, K. Dot. She is in more of a supporting role than a big feature and if you didn't know better, you would barely notice her on the track."
These are reviews from the listening party when Gaga was still credited on bytch Dont Kill My Vibe.
