"Right Thurr" stayed at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 for five non-consecutive weeks, giving Chingy his first of three top-five hits on that chart.

The song reached number one in New Zealand and peaked within the top 20 in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Norway, and the United Kingdom.

An accompanying music video for the song, directed by Jessy Terrero, takes place in Chingy's birthplace of St. Louis.

An official remix for the song was made as a bonus track on the album that featured rappers Jermaine Dupri and Trina.

[3] John Mulvey of NME gave a mixed review of the song, noticing the imitation Neptunes beat from the Trak Starz and Chingy's limitation as a rapper, but still found it to be "utterly irresistible" concluding that "It's all terribly Dirty South, as you'd imagine, but Chingy's soft and compelling way with the letter 'r' is weirdly Devonian, too.

Ludacris, Murphy Lee, Kyjuan, The Trak Starz and Tity Boi make cameo appearances in the video.

[citation needed] An uncut version of the video featured extended scenes from the club of various women in bras and thongs doing suggestive dances on the people and/or each other.
