Critical reception.
Reception to the song was positive. "AAA Backstage" wrote that "'Act Your Age', sampling Bluejuice's pop hit 'Act Yr Age' is a great example of Izm's scratching and is a cheeky throwback to the trio's previous style of rapping; truly a rolling romp all the way back to their early days."
