"Ali Bomaye" was met with generally positive reviews from
music critics. DJBooth.net said the "beat on "Ali Bomaye" is absolutely a beast, and on the whole it's just one of those songs that demands some serious head nodding." David Jeffries of
AllMusic called the song a, "
10 Commandments-busting anthem, which makes selling your soul to the devil sound swanky and sweet. Slava Kuperstein of
HipHopDX, praised the song's "rich production and epic vocal samples." Also saying, "2 Chainz and Rick Ross are merely tolerable on the cut (neither brings their best), but Game’s ear for production serves him well here." However, Eric Revis of
The New York Times called Ross' verse on the song "excellent". Also Chris Dart of
Exclaim! stated that The Game was overshadowed by 2 Chainz' charisma on the song. However, Phillip Mlynar of
Spin said, "2 Chainz sounds worryingly constipated" on the track. In August 2013, "Ali Bomaye" was serviced to
DJ's as a
promotional single from his fifth album
Jesus Piece. The song is also featured on the soundtrack to
Grand Theft Auto V on the Radio Los Santos station, which features
hip hop contemporary to the video game's release. == Chart performance ==
