Reception
Molly McLaughlin from Purple Sneakers said "'Marryuna' is a danceable party track that incorporates influences from previous generations of Indigenous artists alongside contemporary hip-hop. With a pulsing bass line and bouncy synths, the production is crowded and dynamic in the best way, matching Baker Boy's raucous energy. He can alternate between slow grooves and rapid-fire raps with ease, and carries the audience along with his aura of fearless confidence."
Apple Music said "Seamlessly slipping between English and his native Yolu Matha, Marryuna' is a brilliant, infectious, and incredibly welcome addition to modern Australian music."
