'Rap-Up' described the song as "head-knocking" and "high-energy", they felt it "featured a haunting vocal sample". Peter Berry of 'XXL' wrote that the song featured "icy cold production" from Southside, and "Offset delivered yet another killer verse with a machine gun flow that rides the beat perfectly". Max Weinstein of the same publication regarded it as a "dreamy song". Phil Witmer of 'Vice' opined that the song is "blessed with an unearthly beat and the endless applicability of the titular figure's name to rap lyrics". Navjosh of HipHop-N-More called it a "typical sounding track".
