Robin Murray from Clash stated that the intro "has plenty of soul." HipHopDXs Scott Glasher noted that the track "sees YoungBoy waxing spirituals over gushing guitar strings" and that "his hallowing croons ring from the listener’s headphones, presenting him more like a mega-church preacher than a rapper."
