Writing for Artist Direct, Rick Florino complemented the opening guitar, stating "[it] slashes intensely as the legend's poetry rises and falls with the inflection of his voice.

"[2] Iaan Robinson of CraveOnline also praised the track and compared it to Tankian's work in System of a Down.

[3] Consequence of Sound reviewer Adam Kivel criticized the line "Why pretend that we don’t know/ that CEOs are the disease?"

[4] Steve Lepore of PopMatters was also less than enthusiastic about the track, calling the talk-singing sections of the song cliche.

The song's official music video was later released on May 25, and was directed by Ara Soudijian.
