Critical reception
Heidi Siegmund Cuda from
Pitchfork ranked it one of "The 250 Best Songs of the 1990s" in 2022, commenting, "their lone hit, about going 50-50 on a dime bag, and on paper it’s a celebration of the rituals and etiquette of social smoking. But the musky, nocturnal beat, built from a corroded sample of R&B group Club Nouveau's late '80s hit "Why You Treat Me So Bad", turned the track into an exercise in paranoia."[12]

In popular culture
The original song and a suspenseful orchestrated remix version play a crucial role in Jordan Peele's 2019 horror film Us.[1] The track's main melody is used as a leitmotif during the film's climax. The remix is listed on the official soundtrack as the "Tethered Mix". It is also featured in the films Havoc[citation needed] and The Last Black Man in San Francisco.[57] New York Mets third baseman David Wright had the song as his walk-up music for most of his career because he wore number 5 for the team.[58]
