Critical Reception
"We Ride" garnered a generally positive response from music critics. David Jeffries of Allmusic praised "We Ride", writing that the song is "an easy-flowing weekend cruiser". Spence D. of IGN similarly noted that "We Ride" is a song to which someone can listen to whilst driving, writing that it is a "ubiquitous cruising track that reworks the cliché catch phrase of the new millennium: 'we ride till the day that we die.'" Bill Lamb of About.com noted that "We Ride" would appeal most to urban audiences due to its hip-hop composition. However, Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine was critical of "We Ride", writing that although the song is a "hip hop-influenced club banger", it appeared to be too mature for the singer and her "minor vocal talents".
