Critical reception

Consequence of Sound wrote of the song that: "the delivery by Big Sean, manic, almost cartoon-ish in nature, and the beat, this bizarro bump that feels like the best-worst parts of old horror movie soundtracks cut together, work to make it vibrant and appealing, even if it feels overdone".[4] HipHopDX noted that "I Do It" and fellow album track "My Last" both "showcase Sean's signature bravado and punchlines".[5]
