Critical reception
Billboard placed the song at number 21 in their ranking of the songs from Music.{{cite web |last1=Diaz |first1=Angel |last2=Saponara |first2=Michael |title=Every Song From Playboi Carti’s ‘Music’ Album Ranked: Critic’s Picks |url=https://www.billboard.com/lists/playboi-carti-i-am-music-tracks-ranked-2025/ |website=Billboard |access-date=30 March 2025 |date=March 14, 2025}} Reviewing Music for Pitchfork, Alphonse Pierre wrote "Carti's restlessness is the engine of the album, a reflection of his boredom, attention span, and unbridled imagination in equal measure. That chaos is hollow when he's hastily following the blueprint of popular prestige rap albums, thrilling when it's used to capture the feeling of the music in his bloodstream. For example, he's having a shit-talking ball on the Rich Kidz homage 'Like Weezy.'"{{Cite web |last=Pierre |first=Alphonse |date=2025-03-18 |title=Playboi Carti: Music |url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/playboi-carti-music/ |access-date=2025-03-30 |website=Pitchfork |language=en-US}}
