Critical reception

[edit]

AllMusic described the track as a "non-stop rush of heart-rending, pop-adjacent struggle rap", labeling it as a "standout" on the album.[1] HipHopDX's Nina Hernandez wrote that Harlow's verse "isn’t hard on the ears, but he also doesn’t land any lyrical punches".[2] Dylan Green for Pitchfork referred to Green's verse on the track as a "spirited performance" and praised the "clacking synths".[3]
