Critical response

The Guardian editor Alex Macpherson praised the production: "Thr33 Ringz' humour is still superbly crass and mostly enjoyable, especially when allied with the skittering beats and post-funk bounce of Freeze."^[2] Jesal 'Jay Soul' Padania of RapReviews.com called this song nice enough.^[3] Eric Henderson wrote a positive review: "Freeze" might be another freeze-dried Chris Brown upper, but it boasts the cleanest production this side of Ne-Yo."^[4]

Music video

The shoot for the music video was released on YouTube on September 30 by Mike & Rocco (reality).^[5] The video was set to premiere on January 5, 2009^[6] but leaked on December 31, 2008 and was officially released on January 1, 2009 via MTV Jams.^[7]
