It reached number one on the Billboard R&B charts and peaked at number 7 on the Pop Singles chart. According to Allmusic's review of the song, "the lyric takes the cool image of the low rider — the Chicano culture practice of hydraulically hot-rodding classic cars — and using innuendo, extends the image to a lifestyle". The song's most distinguishable feature is its driving bass line .
