Billboard selected "Sexy Ida (Part 2)" as one of their Top Singles Picks.[10]
Cash Box wrote of the B-side: "This powerhouse duo does it again!! An incredibly strong disk it could make it as a disco record. Ike and Tina can really sock it out and this record is where they really cut loose. Solidly based heavy beat is cut through with Tina`s outrageous vocal. Tight instrumentally and great vocally this record cannot miss the top."[11]
Blues & Soul (October 8, 1974): "Every now and then Ike and Tina burst through with a giant. Last time around, it was `Nutbush City Limits` and then followed a couple of duds. Now Tina shrieks her way through a bubbling disco item that is virtually assured of both pop and soul victory in this country."[9]
