Critical reception
The song received generally positive reviews. Lexi Lane of Uproxx wrote that "the catchy production compliments each of the rapper's verses" and "By the song's outro instrumental, it feels reminiscent of floating through space." Gabriel Bras Nevares of HotNewHipHop wrote of the production, "It's nothing new at this point, but the graceful piano melodies and dense ad-libs make for a fun atmosphere to match the percussion. It's the type of beat that isn't hot on impact, with its bouncy bass hits and understated hi-hats and snares, but it works engagingly as a dreamy combo." In addition, he praised the collaboration of Trippie Redd and Don Toliver. In regard to Toliver's vocals, he wrote, "His voice is always a winner for tracks like these, especially when it's paired with a dynamic flow", while regarding Redd he wrote, "He expands on a lot of the same flexes and mindsets that Don started the track with, but with a more powerful vocal performance."
