John Murphy of musicOMH said the song was "the Mitchells at their most incendiary", arguing that the song could potentially be the ~~English~~British version of [[N.W.A\|NWA]]'s "[[Fuck ~~Tha~~tha Police]]" and that "a whole generation of black youths" would be able to identify with it.<ref name="musicomh"/> About the featured artists on the song, he commented: "The appearance of both Mike Skinner and Grime's latest rising star Kano gives the track added prestige."<ref name="musicomh">{{cite web\|last=Murphy \|first=John \|url=http://www.musicomh.com/reviews/albums/the-mitchell-brothers-a-breath-of-fresh-attire \|title=The Mitchell Brothers – A Breath Of Fresh Attire \| Album Reviews \|publisher=musicOMH \|date=2005-08-22 \|accessdate=2014-05-21}}</ref> Hattie Collins of ''The Guardian'' felt that the Mitchells' contribution to the track was inferior to Kano's contribution: "their flat flow, perhaps meant to lend a more authentic feel, serves only to make them all the more monotonous".<ref name="guardian">{{cite web\|author=Hattie Collins \|url=~~http~~https://www.theguardian.com/music/2005/aug/12/popandrock.shopping3 \|title=CD: The Mitchell Brothers, A Breath of Fresh Attire \| Music \|~~publisher~~work=The Guardian \|date=2005-08-12 \|accessdate=2014-05-21}}</ref> ==Aftermath== In an interview with ''[[Music Week]]'', [[Robbie Williams]] revealed that he had played the song "to death", and as a result was inspired to record "[[Dickhead (Robbie Williams song)\|Dickhead]]", a hidden track on his ninth studio album, ''[[Rudebox (album)\|Rudebox]]''.<ref name="musicweek">{{cite web\|url=http://www.robbiewilliams.com/discography/interviews/music-week \|title=Music Week \|publisher=RobbieWilliams.com \|date= \|accessdate=2014-05-21}}</ref> ==References== Line 18 ⟶ 20: [[Category:2004 songs]] [[Category:2004 debut singles]] [[Category:British hip-hop songs]]
