Background
In an interview with 'Complex' in October 2011, Wale spoke about the song:
"Ambition" is a record that's on the album that's very important because it's the title track. The most famous rapper on the album is obviously Rick Ross, so I wanted him to bring a lot of attention to "Ambition" because it's what the album is about. I also wanted my fans to hear another side of Rick Ross. He touches on some things that he never really spoke on before on that verse."

The song was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. Rose Lilah of 'HotNewHipHop' described it as "a solid addition to the commendable body of work Wale has been creating since stepping foot in the rap game". 'XXL' called the song a "smooth, rolling opus".
