He additionally commented, "But outside of being a great stand-alone record, it also gets bonus points for having one of the smoothest transitions/outros. It's wavy and leads seamlessly into another smash in 'The Truth.'"[1] Jesse James of stupidDOPE said the song is "proof that Lil Tecca knows how to make a song that resonates without forcing the issue".[2]
