Critical reception
Devin Ch of HotNewHipHop wrote "The message on 'Carrollton' is a part of a well-aimed contingency to connect with Society's outliers. I should preface that 'connect' is a term imbued with irony. The only thing idiomatic about lyrics like 'slap my face against a pill to crush it up' is the non-compliance act you the listener wrote into the script."{{cite web |last1=Ch |first1=Devin |title=$uicideboy$ Show Mercy To The Weak & Decrepit On "Carrollton" |url=https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/108078-suicideboys-show-mercy-to-the-weak-and-decrepit-on-carrollton-new-song |website=HotNewHipHop |access-date=29 June 2024 |date=August 1, 2018}}
