Critical reception
The critics received "Me and Armini" rather warmly: Andrew Leahey of Allmusic said "the album's breezy title track" evokes "the reggae-tinged swagger of Lily Allen"[3] while Amazon.co.uk's James Berry compared it to Gwen Stefani.[4] Matthew Allard from ARTISTdirect wrote it "up[s] the tempo in a sunny, radio-ready way"[5] and The Guardian's Maddy Costa called it "a scatty little attempt at dub that proves strangely affecting".[6] PopMatters' reviewer Spencer Tricker was less impressed by the song, writing about it "declin[ing] attention excepting a vague, electro-dub feel and the titular refrain"[7]
