Critical reception[edit]

The track received generally positive reviews. Joshua Minsoo Kim of Spin called the track a highlight off of Lil Boat 2, stating it was mostly great "because of Trippie Redd’s melodic sensibility".[3] Sam Moore of NME called the track "a welcome source of relief from the overbearing raps" on the album, saying that the beat was "the kind of cloud-rap instrumental Yung Lean circa-2013 would’ve felt comfortable throwing his bucket hat on".[4]
