Critical reception.
Ryan Dombal of "Pitchfork" praised the track and Rosalía's performance in an otherwise highly negative review of its parent album, stating that it "offers a dark, piercing sensuality" and "comes close to matching the shadowy "Game of Thrones" mood millions have fallen for," but was highly critical of A.Chal's "pointless" verse. Danny Schwartz of "Highsnobiety" expressed a similar sentiment, writing that the Peruvian rapper spoiled the lead artist's "exquisite flamenco". Stefanie Fernández, writing for "NPR", called the track a "soundtrack standout" due to its production and "uncanny relevance to Arya Stark and her kill list", while "Billboard"'s Judy Cantor-Navas described it as "darkly intriguing." "GQ" placed the song on its weekly best songs list, with Colin Groundwater calling it a "solid slow burner that continues the Spanish pop star's winning streak."
