The song received positive reviews from critics, who praised the production and Chingy's addictive delivery.

"Right Thurr" stayed at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 for five non-consecutive weeks, giving Chingy his first of three top-five hits on that chart. It also became a number-one hit on the Hot Rap Songs chart for four weeks and peaked at numbers two and five on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Mainstream Top 40 charts, respectively. The song reached number one in New Zealand and peaked within the top 20 in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Norway, and the United Kingdom. It was certified gold in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.

An accompanying music video for the song, directed by Jessy Terrero, takes place in Chingy's birthplace of St. Louis.
