Composition

"Shmunk" employs "a warped bop" with "dancehall beats and melodic acoustic strings also eas[ing] their way into the production".{{cite magazine|url=https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/636980-yeat-afterlyfe-album-review|title=Yeat – "AfterLyfe" Album Review|magazine=HotNewHipHop|last=Hardy|first=Caleb|date=February 27, 2023|access-date=March 6, 2023}}

Critical reception

HotNewHipHop{{'}}s Caleb Hardy noted that YoungBoy "is the one exception" to Yeat's attempt to "make up for the distinct lack of features by ushering in his alter-personas". On the track, YoungBoy "delivers a much-needed alternative voice". Hardy also noted that Yeat "shows out with braggadocios bars, chiefly about having stacks of cash, buying new cars, and wearing designer brands".
