[1][2][3] Chris Willman of Los Angeles Times said of "Cars with the Boom": "One of the dumber rap songs to come down the pike lately, this ode to noise pollution is also the most irresistible.

[5] Abel Folgar of Miami New Times praised the song, writing that "the fact stands, there's something almost benign and cute about this affair ... [L'Trimm's] delivery, and it's all based on their delivery, is fun and childish".

[6] Travis M. Andrews of The Washington Post declared that "the song stands out in the landscape of hip-hop for being so unapologetically light".

[1] "Cars with the Boom" was ranked number 95 on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop" in 2008[7] and number 100 on Rolling Stone's "Top 100 Hip Hop Songs of All Time" in 2017.

[9] The song renewed popularity in mid-2020 due to widespread use in dancing and lip-syncing trends on the video-sharing app TikTok.
