Critical reception The critics received "'''Me and Armini'''" rather warmly: Andrew Leahey of Allmusic said "the album's breezy title track" evokes "the reggae-tinged swagger of Lily Allen" while Amazon.co.uk's James Berry compared it to Gwen Stefani. Matthew Allard from ARTISTdirect wrote it "ups the tempo in a sunny, radio-ready way" and The Guardian's Maddy Costa called it "a scatty little attempt at dub that proves strangely affecting". PopMatters' reviewer Spencer Tricker was less impressed by the song, writing about it "declining attention excepting a vague, electro-dub feel and the titular refrain"
