Critical reception
AllMusic wrote a mixed opinion: "sex song that finds Shady sounding as if he's drifting along in his own orbit. "Shake That" has an incongruous Nate Dogg crooning the chorus."
[4] Pitchfork thinks that this song is just another "lesser version of Eminem songs that already piss me (critic) off."
[5] IGN called it a "rump mover" and wrote a positive review: "a booty shaker, again showing promise in Em's production. It's still a pretty simple bump-n-shuffle number, but it swings with a sense of upbeat minimalism and takes his trademark dark sounds into a slightly lighter venue."
[6] Sputnik Music opined, "Shake That features Nate Dogg, and is the quintessential club banger".
Rolling Stone called this song a "Nate Dogg throwaway".
[7]
"Shake That" was nominated for "
Best Rap/Sung Collaboration " at the
49th Annual Grammy Awards , but it lost to
Justin Timberlake and
T.I. 's "
My Love ". "Shake That" was certified gold in Sweden,
[8] and platinum in Denmark,
[9] both due to strong
digital downloads .
