The song earned Trinidad James a major record deal with Def Jam Recordings worth 2 million.[3]Complex ranked the song #35 on the 50 best songs of 2012 list.[4] The official remix was released on January 7, 2013, featuring fellow Atlanta rappers T.I., Young Jeezy and 2 Chainz.[5] On February 14, 2013, Trinidad James performed the song on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.[6] The music video for the remix was filmed on January 31, 2013[7] and was released on February 27, 2013.[8] "All Gold Everything" was interpolated in the 2014 song "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars.[9] On June 24, 2015, it was reported that James earned over $150,000 in royalty earnings off of "Uptown Funk"'s interpolation.[10]
Pitchfork Media commented on the track by saying "If the heyday of disco had produced a rapper, it might have been Atlanta's Trinidad James. When he talks about gold-- he's obsessed with it-- it's not so much about status as it is about sheer flamboyance. 'I'm too fly/ You know this/ Let me give your ass a checklist', he raps on 'All Gold Everything', the letters slithering off his tongue around a slow, exaggerated ripple of a beat. The track comes from his mixtape Don't Be S.A.F.E., an excellent debut that toggles seamlessly between snaggle-toothed drug talk, flashy boasts and earnest self-deprecation."[11]
