Critical reception

HipHopDX's Justin Ivey noted that the track "works perfectly as an opening salvo, displaying his command and presence on a Bighead instrumental that pummels listeners over the head with thunderous bass."[1]

Music video

In the music video - which premiered the day of the song's release - YoungBoy is seen in New Orleans, Louisiana taking influence from Birdman who appears in the video. The video is "complete with raw footage of Youngboy spending quality time with son and friends," however it also pictures YoungBoy "two-stepping in the hallway of–what appears to be his home."[2]
