Reception
Carla Hay of AXS stated, "'Dig In' was the first single from the 2001 album Lenny. Its got all the elements of a classic Kravitz rock song, including an addictive chorus and great rhythm. Its hard to forget this song once youve heard it."
Chart performance
"Dig In" is one of the most successful songs by Kravitz in the United States. In addition to its number 31 peak on the 'Billboard' Hot 100 in December 2001, it peaked at number 13 on 'Billboard's Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart. In Europe, the single entered several charts, including those of Italy, Portugal, and Spain, reaching the top 10 in these regions.
Music video
The music video was directed by Samuel Bayer, who also directed "Black Velveteen" for Kravitz. The video starts with a QVC-like program with a woman selling products such as expensive jewelry. Suddenly, there is a signal interference that leads to show Kravitz and his band performance at a floating base in the sea, while they are being surrounded by a helicopter. Much of the music video has special effects designed to make the video seem to have tracking issues.
Awards
Kravitz was awarded the Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance in 2002 for his performance on this song. It was his fourth consecutive win of this award.
