Critical reception
'NME' described the song as "not an earth-stopping departure," when compared to her former songs but praised it for sounding "like a giant robot cat spewing up sound like an invitation to some kind of all-night New Orleans dwarf sex coke rave."(2006-06-23).

Music video
The video for "Downtown" was made to promote the first single from 'Impeach My Bush'. In the video Peaches plays two characters, a woman in a red dress (probably a sex worker) and a man. Both of them interact in the video. In the end Peaches the man seems dead or passed out while androgynous Peaches cleans her face in front of a mirror.
