On May 20, 2020, a day after the track's release, he posted a video of the music video shoot. The video showed police officers at the shoot.

  ## Critical reception
  
  The song received generally positive reviews. Charlie Zhang of Hypebeast said the track "delivered a steady flow of bars" and called it "lyrical", and that the instrumental was "trap-tinged with pounding 808s". Aron A. of HotNewHipHop called the track a "banger", and called the instrumental "bass-heavy" and "minimalistic", saying that although "the pair doesn't necessarily deliver the same type of hit-making magic as they did in 2018", it was "certainly one of the tighter efforts from BlocBoy in recent times".
