Yeah, I just read the write up in the NYT, and it was very fair and balanced, even praising the BC remix as the superior of the two.

From the NYT:
"If the songs were dull or disposable, they’d still be important, but they might matter less. But they’re both good, “Birthday Cake” very much so. The quality matters because they’re likely to lodge themselves in the public consciousness and seep onto radio playlists: this mess won’t just melt into the air."
