Critical reception
The song was met with a mixed reception. Sam Moore of The Independent called it "drumless inertia".{{cite web |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/drake-review-certified-lover-boy-b1914198.html |last=Moore |first=Sam |title=Drake review, Certified Lover Boy: Album's greatest crime is how bland and boring it is |work=The Independent |date=September 4, 2021}} Writing for The Guardian, Alim Kheraj described the song as "sparse and underwhelming" and Jay-Z's verse "sleepy, barely present". Jeff Ihaza of Rolling Stone deemed the song as "overly dramatic" and particularly criticized the disses toward Kanye West, writing, "It carries all of the intensity of high school bickering, but with somehow even lower stakes."
Conversely, Erika Marie of HotNewHipHop gave the song a "Very Hottttt" rating.
