"Get Like Me" is a drum-driven song with sparse and percussive beat.
Lyrically, it is a self-pride song, further described as "an ode to Nelly's dope-ness".
Rob Markman from MTV News noted that the song initially was similar with Nelly and Pharrell's collaborations on "Hot in Herre" (2002) "Flap Your Wings" (2005) and further compared it with songs produced by The Neptunes.
Jenna Hally Rubenstein noted that it sounds very similar to other songs produced by Williams.
Mike Powell of the magazine Rolling Stone graded "Get Like Me" with three stars out of five writing in his review.
