JimmyKing of TooXclusive gave the song 4.5 stars out of 5, stating, "Simi's Jamb Question is an improvement from her hit single "Tiff". The melody progression of the beat with the saxophone accompaniment gave the song a very wonderful effect. Simi’s voice is unique and it did justice to the song. This Afro pop song is rich with African instrumentation. The Ad lib (backup) was well done with harmonious combination of two the voices. Jamb Question is really a great song".[5] In the same vein, Sifon B. of Jaguda.com gave the song 4 stars out of 5, adding, "Jamb question puts in a blender Simi’s soothing voice, her comical lyrics, and a beautiful instrumental produced by Oscar, and the output is a smooth piece of auditory art".[6]
