The song was met with negative reception from music critics. Reviewing True 2 Myself for Pitchfork, Alphonse Pierre stated "The album format gives Tjay a little room to stretch, something that's nearly impossible when he's only releasing one single a month. Some experiments work, like the traditional R&B ballad 'Mixed Emotions.' The 'BET Uncut' slow jam 'Sex Sounds,' meanwhile, is way too much: Hearing him sing 'The way you kiss me when I'm stroking deep inside' is like finding porn in your little brother's internet history."{{cite web|url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/lil-tjay-true-2-myself/|title=Lil Tjay: True 2 Myself Album Review|last=Pierre|first=Alphonse|website=Pitchfork|date=October 14, 2019|accessdate=April 5, 2024}} M.T. Richards of Consequence of Sound criticized that Lil Tjay "seems so unsure of himself" on the song, which he also described as "remedial".{{cite web|url=https://consequenceofsound.net/2019/10/album-review-lil-tjay-true-2-myself/|title=Lil Tjay Shines When Acting His Age on True 2 Myself|last=Richards|first=M.
