Critical reception

Pitchfork commented that "On “Drip Too Hard,” Lil Baby finds his melodic sweet spot on the hook only for Gunna to attempt to upstage him with smooth vocals that manage to keep his rapid delivery intact, all while tossing in a few boasts that are probably lies, but those are the best ones".{{cite web | url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/lil-baby-gunna-drip-harder/#:~:text=On%20%E2%80%9CDrip%20Too%20Hard%2C%E2%80%9D,took%20a%20private%20plane%E2%80%9D). | title=Lil Baby / Gunna: Drip Harder | website=Pitchfork }} UPROXX stated that the song is "built on their existing chemistry from years of association".{{cite web | url=https://uproxx.com/music/lil-baby-gunna-drip-harder-review/ | title=Lil Baby and Gunna's 'Drip Harder' is Pure Trap Fan Service | date=9 October 2018 }} Billboard named it fourth best song on the Drip Harder album, saying that "'Drip Too Hard' isn't Baby or Gunna's best song (that'd be 'Life Goes On'), but it does illustrate what makes their musical bromance special".{{cite magazine | url=https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/lil-baby-gunna-drip-harder-tracks-ranked-8478841/ | title=Ranking Every Track from Lil Baby and Gunna's 'Drip Harder' Album | magazine=Billboard }}
