Reception
Despite the mediocre reception for its parent album, "Got It Made" received positive reviews. Cashbox labeled it as a "pleasant ditty that grows on you" with "vocal chemistry" that contributes to "a smooth sonic underpaying for the tune to ride on."[2] Anthony DeCurtis of Rolling Stone called it a "jaunty" song that succeeded on its "own modest terms".[3] Paste placed the song at No. 9 in their list of the band's 13 best, calling its chorus "instantly catchy" and referring to the song as a standout on the album.[4]
