Critical reception
Gabriel Bras Nevares of HotNewHipHop gave a positive review, writing "It's a hard-hitting and unsurprisingly bouncy cut, which sounds a lot like some of the Atlanta rapper's best material over the decades. Maybe it won't convince you that he's still as good as ever, but you can't deny that he carries himself on the beat with a lot of charismatic energy head-bobbing flows."[4]
