The album's title comes from a YouTube comment posted on one of Diplo's videos.[3]
David Jeffries of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 out of 5 stars, calling it "a worthy round-up time capsule that works best when consumed in two EP-sized bites or parted out for mixtapes." Writing for Vice, Robert Christgau summarised it as "seven proven bangers gussied up with five remixes – in short, the obvious shit his base long ago had enough of d/b/a music for normal people seeking a pick-me-up. I suppose we could do without the remixes, but hell, excess is why he's richer than he is famous, and they're certainly not painful." Meanwhile, Colin Fitzgerlad of PopMatters gave the album 2 out of 10 stars, saying, "unlike much of Diplo's work, none of the songs on Random White Dude Be Everywhere are unique or extraordinary in any perceivable way."
