Critical reception

The critical reception to the song has been mixed; it was not seen as one of the better tracks of the album. Mike Joseph of Pop Matters wrote "it’s far from the best song on the album ". However, reviews have shown favor to the song. Edward Bowser of Soul in Stereo wrote "David Banner’s disgusting rap... can’t even slow this down".
Joseph also wrote “Cool”... turns out to be a pretty decent song, a mellow midtempo track with a fairly unobtrusive rap section from Banner. Andy Kellman of AllMusic also gave it a favorable review saying it "parlays the stress of financial strain into a good time without resembling mindless escapism."
