Metal Hammer called the song "a nu metal anthem" and stated the song "owes more to Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson's industrial stomp than it does to Limp Bizkit's big-shorted shenanigans."[3]
The song was ranked at no. 36 on Metal Hammer's list of "The 40 best nu metal songs of all time".[3]
Marilyn Manson heard the song in a strip club and hand-picked The Union Underground to be his tour mates.[4] The band would tour with Manson in fall 2000.[5]
