Critical reception
"A.D.I.D.A.S." received generally positive reviews from music critics. Allmusic writer John Bush called the song "irresitible", selecting it as one of the best songs from Monster along with "Rap Is Dead" and "U Know I Love U". Writing for hip hop website RapReviews, writer Steve Juon complimented "A.D.I.D.A.S." and the way it addressed the sexual theme of its title, describing it as a "light-hearted song about getting a nut". Uncut magazine called the song's tempo "bouncing" and praised how the song displays Killer Mike's "playful pop sensibilities".
