Critical reception
Corey Irwin of Ultimate Classic Rock chose "I Got Mine" as the best song from the album Attack & Release, praising its "earworm chorus and emphatic guitar". Complex Magazine considered it to be the 10th best song by the Black Keys. Both articles highlight the song as a focal point for the band, between their indie rock phase of "unrefined and somewhat coarse sound" and a "much fuller and more realized" music of their rock phase.[2][3]
