'' wrote of the song, "21's drawl melodically wafts through the beginning of the Pi'erre Bourne-produced track, eschewing much of his usual intimidation for hilarious (and timely) quotables like, 'Y'all n****s can't join my live / I ain't givin' no high fives' and 'I don't go to church, I curse' over buoyant synths. Uzi provides a jolt of aggression after the methodical opener and causes 21 to jump into his own double-time bag on the second verse. Even though 21 technically has more verses on the track, Uzi shifts the track's energy, and more importantly, the lyrical tone and debaucherous lyrics fit the overall vibe of the syrupy, ever-quaking soundscape."
