Critical reception
editWriting for USA Today, Steve Jones commented that Mannie Fresh's "hard-grooving beats pulse under songs such as the autobiographical 'In My Life'".[3] Matt Cibula of PopMatters regarded the song as the "centerpiece" of Juve the Great, adding that "The ostensible subject of it all is how Juve and Mannie want to live big-baller lives and just don't care about anything anyone says, but the real subject is how Mannie's tones are turned to drones by Watts' meddling."[4]
