Critical reception

Robert Copsey of '' Digital Spy'' gave the song a positive review stating:

Built around a simple but relentless synth riff, 'Look What The Cat Dragged In' has that knack of doing very little but still burrowing into your brain face-first like an earworm. Giggs's deep, distinctive delivery gives a semblance of weight to some very silly lyrics. There's stuff about gettin' the laydeez ("Wanna' lean in ma cockpit / Feelin' ma chopstick"), unprotected sex ("I done it bareback / I take chances"), boozing ("Courvoisier / Fillin' up eight glasses") and the eternal boobs/bum debate ("I'm a breast man but I rate arses"). It'd be a crime to take it too seriously, but there's something fantastically grin-inducing about a rap track so British yet so swaggering and comfortably assured .Music – Singles Review – Giggs: 'Look What the Cat Dragged In'
