Critical reception



Bianca Gracie in 'Billboard' called it a "juicy braggadocious anthem laid atop a throwback production by Chevy Music that is pure New York City" and stated that it's reminiscent of the Litefeet dance era, "the bars are filled with Minajs signature themes: boasting about her vagina, calling out jealous women and aiming shots at her rap enemies." Jon Caraminaca on 'The New York Times' said, "these are sparring recordsloose, pugnacious, a little uncentered. "Barbie Tingz" has the cold snap of early '80s hip-hop and electro ... As is the norm, Ms. Minaj aims shots at unnamed antagonists, but in the past, that bluster felt truly targetless. But now, for the first time since the beginning of her career, there's someone who might plausibly shoot back, and win." Maeve McDermott of USA Today said, "Barbie Tingz is the real highlight of the two tracks, a welcome reminder of Nicki's addictive flow over a beat that sounds made for summertime radio play."

Commercial performance



"Barbie Tingz" debuted at number 83 on the U.S. 'Billboard' Hot 100 after a day of tracking and four days of radio airplay, with 21,000 downloads sold and 4.2 million streams. It ascended to number 25 the following week, selling 29,000 copies and earning 18 million streams. It fell to number 78 in its third week. The song managed to peak at number one in New Zealand's Heatseekers chart.
