Critical reception

The Dominion Post reviewer said that "My Shit" sounds "like an aural business card...[and]...a very weak version of 50 Cent".[5] Jody Macgregor of Allmusic and Rebecca Barry from The New Zealand Herald called the song "a second-rate sequel to...'Not Many'",[6] reusing its theme.[7]
