Critical reception
[edit]The song received mediocre reviews. Billboard's Michael Saponara ranked the song as the thirteenth best track on Some Sexy Songs 4 U.[5] Saponara wrote that Drake and Psrty "slow the pace down and bring out the guitars for an airy instrumental that Natasha Beddingfield could’ve meshed with" and that "Yebba’s soothing coo brings [the song] tastefully across the finish line".[5] However, Alphonse Pierre for Pitchfork wrote that the track is a "half-assed attempt to get the Nashville bag".[6]
