Critical Reception
Pitchfork Media writer Cory D. Byrom said the following about the song:
| “ | Its opening bars recall Led Zeppelin's gentler side with clean-strummed guitar chords and Stockdale putting on his best Robert Plant, but tumbling drumfills inevitably welcome back the rock, leading up to a blissed-out, psychedelic bridge. | ” |
In his review of Wolfmother for music website allmusic, critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine identified "White Unicorn" as one of the highlights of the album, while Rolling Stone writer Brian Hiatt described the song, in his review of the band's 2004 debut EP Wolfmother, as a "Viking-horned anthem" containing "some of the tastiest fuzz-guitar tones recorded in years, and Jimmy Page-worthy chordal riffing".

“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
