All Music Guide's Steve Birchmeier considers "I Just Wanna Love U" to be "a fun, playful song miles away from the rugged Ruff Ryder beats Swizz Beatz had been offering Jay-Z a year earlier."[1] In addition, Rob Marriot of Rolling Stone and Steve Juon of RapReviews.com describe it as a club-ready[2] track that will get "whips hopping from coast to coast."[3]: these remarks explain why it reached #11 on The Billboard Hot 100 making it the most successful Jay-Z single at the time.
Jay-Z's opponents often cite Jay-Z's common "biting" or reusing lyrics from other artists' songs. On "I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)," Jay-Z "bites" from "The World Is Filled..." by The Notorious B.I.G.. The writers of "The World Is Filled..." all received writing credits for "I Just Wanna Love U."
Jay-Z's lyrics:

When the Rémy's in the system, ain't no tellin |
