It is an electropop song that speaks about the bass clef and has a double entendre gender metaphor. "Big Fat Bass" received mixed reviews from music critics.

Alexis Petridis of The Guardian considered it the "the most old-school work" on Femme Fatale,[9]​ while Keith Caulfield of Billboard said he could "completely hear this track blasting in a club, with Spears cooing "I can be your treble" while the crowd screams back "you can be my bass!"[6]​ Thomas Conner of Chicago Sun-Times gave "Big Fat Bass" a negative review, and considered it "one unfortunate collaboration," while saying Spears "herself could beat [will.i.am] in a rap battle."[10]​ Robert Everett-Green of The Globe and Mail considered the song a "verseless tune", and commented that "[will.i.am] thought it would be fun to make [Spears] sound like Rihanna" on the track.[11]​ Braulio Lorentz of Billboard Brasil considered Femme Fatale "too much", while commenting that "even will.i.am can't save [the album]" with "Big Fat Bass".[12]

A Staff Reporter of Samesame.com.au said that, at first, "I was ready to declare ‘Big Fat Bass’ the worst track of the album." However, after its release, "I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the track is actually pretty awesome."[13]​ Hannah Rishel of The Daily Collegian considered the song "catchy, but different enough so it sticks out against “Till the World Ends” and “Hold It Against Me.” The combined star power of Spears and Will.i.am would have surely made it a radio hit."[14]​ Andy Gill of The Independent said that the album sounds more programmed than natural, but said that "Big Fat Bass" "sticks to dancefloor essentials".[15]
