Beyonce Knowles Crazy In Love
- Critical response

Crazy in Love" attracted a generally positive comments from reviewers.

Tim Sendra of the All Music Guide praised the Australian release, and described the song as a "stunning pop masterpiece", while Stephen Thomas Erlewine, who reviewed Dangerously in Love, called it "deliriously catchy".

Darryl Sterdan, writing for Jam! Showbiz, noted the song's "instantly addictive horn lines".

Anthony DeCurtis for Rolling Stone also remarked upon the horn sample, and noted the contribution of Jay-Z, writing: "'Crazy in Love' ... roars out of the speakers on the strength of a propulsive horn sample and the charged presence of her pal, Jay-Z." Reviewing Dangerously in Love, Sam Smallman of PlayLouder wrote: "'Crazy In Love' ... kick starts the album, and it is well chosen – the track is blatantly huge, a proper club banger, and a fine showcase for Jay-Z's new, more melodic flow".

Whudat.com commented on the song's role as a club track, and noted that it was "the '1AM' track in the clubs"; it also gave it a rating of "90/100 degrees". The British magazine New Musical Express provided the single with the highest praise they could offer by voting it the best single release of the year, in their end of year review of 2003.
