Critical reception
Brandon Soderberg of Spin called Dukey Stick ”a meaty hard-funk track that shoots chants, jazzy-wazzy drumming, shards of guitar whines, and plenty of electronic watery bloop-bloop around the core elements of pop-friendly R&B."[3]
Richard S. Ginell of Allmusic also found, "(Don't Let Go)'s centerpiece is a self-parodic bit of shuck and jive called "Dukey Stick"."[4]
Samples
Scarface sampled Dukey Stick on Let Me Roll off his second studio album The World Is Yours.[5]
