Critical reception
Anna Gaca of Pitchfork stated "Stuck with U" is "merely serviceable as a pop song" but "a big upgrade from that other product of rich-people lockdown culture: the celebrities singing 'Imagine'. Instead of a bad take on a hoary classic, Grande and Bieber offer a new song with a pleasantly retro doo-wop vibe. Instead of Pollyannaish optimism, they sound a note of resignation."{{cite web|url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/justin-bieber-ariana-grande-stuck-with-u/|title='Stuck With U' by Ariana Grande & Justin Bieber Review {{!}} Pitchfork|website=pitchfork.com|access-date=May 8, 2020|archive-date=May 9, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200509015711/https://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/justin-bieber-ariana-grande-stuck-with-u/|url-status=live}}

''Billboard'' Hot 100 controversy
On the same day as the release of "Stuck with U", rapper 6ix9ine, who had been incarcerated but had earlier in the month been released to home confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic, released his comeback single "Gooba", which debuted atop the Billboard Streaming Songs chart, and peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100, on the week dated May 23, 2020. The rapper took to social media afterwards to accuse Billboard of "chart manipulation" and accuse both Grande and Bieber of "buying" their way to number one on the chart.{{cite web|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/celebrity/ariana-grande-justin-bieber-respond-tekashi-6ix9ine-saying-they-stole-n1209866|title=Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber respond to Tekashi 6ix9ine saying they stole top chart spot|last=Madani|first=Doha|website=NBCNews|date=May 18, 2020|access-date=May 18, 2020|archive-date=May 19, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200519001417/https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/celebrity/ariana-grande-justin-bieber-respond-tekashi-6ix9ine-saying-they-stole-n1209866|url-status=live}} In an Instagram post, 6ix9ine alleged that the artists used six credit cards to buy 30,000 copies of "Stuck with U" without providing evidence.{{cite web | url=https://theblast.com/c/tekashi-6ix9ine-69-blasts-ariana-grande-justin-bieber-gooba-stuck-with-u-billboard-chart | title=Tekashi 6ix9ine BLASTS Ariana Grande & Justin Bieber -- You're Not the Real #1!! | date=15 May 2020 | access-date=24 May 2020 | archive-date=24 May 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200524032758/https://theblast.com/c/tekashi-6ix9ine-69-blasts-ariana-grande-justin-bieber-gooba-stuck-with-u-billboard-chart | url-status=live }} Grande and Bieber both denied the allegations. Grande and Bieber's manager Scooter Braun would address 6ix9ine's claims that his streams didn't count, stating that "he [6ix9ine] is counting his global streams and this is a domestic chart so only domestic streams count". Braun also added that the last-minute disclosure of 60,000 units was the result of their team strategy to keep the numbers quiet until the end of the week, and pointed out that "using six credit cards to buy 30K" is impossible by stating "the rules are clear one credit card can buy max 4 copies".{{Cite tweet |title=Ariana Grande and Scooter Braun respond… |number=1262489803041517568 |user=akademiks |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200518210938/https://twitter.com/Akademiks/status/1262489803041517568 |archive-date=May 18, 2020 |access-date=22 July 2023 |lang=en |url-access=limited |url-status=live |url=https://twitter.com/akademiks/status/1262489803041517568}}{{Cite web|last=Ahlgrim|first=Callie|title=Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber respond to Tekashi 6ix9ine's accusation that she 'bought' the No. 1 spot for their duet|url=https://www.insider.com/ariana-grande-justin-bieber-tekashi-6ix9ine-billboard-song-chart-response-2020-5|access-date=2020-06-07|website=Insider|date=18 May 2020 |archive-date=2023-09-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230912054232/https://www.insider.com/ariana-grande-justin-bieber-tekashi-6ix9ine-billboard-song-chart-response-2020-5|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|title=6ix9ine Doubles Down on Billboard Cheating Claims, Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber Respond|url=https://www.complex.com/music/2020/05/tekashi-6ix9ine-doubles-down-billboard-cheating-claims|access-date=2020-06-07|website=Complex|language=en|archive-date=2020-05-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200525114232/https://www.complex.com/music/2020/05/tekashi-6ix9ine-doubles-down-billboard-cheating-claims|url-status=live}} Bieber defended Grande by reposting Braun's statement on Instagram stories adding that "this is my song with Ariana Grande and I'm honored to work with her to help raise money for a great cause.

6ix9ine made a subsequent video addressing Grande, in which he said he wasn't coming after her on a personal level but Billboard, despite his previous statements speculating against Grande and Bieber.

Billboard released a statement on May 18, 2020, the same day 6ix9ine made the accusations, to explain the results. Billboard stated that 6ix9ine's "six credit cards" claim was inaccurate, as bulk purchases are recognized and removed from the final sales total. They also stated that the Hot 100 forecast he had referenced in an earlier Instagram post prior to the release of that week's chart reveal was not created by them and that they do not distribute any of their rankings to labels, management, or artist. About the discrepancy between YouTube's visible play count for "Gooba", over 180 million at that moment, and the number of streams Billboard counted for the song, 55.3 million, they explain "counts for a video on its YouTube page are for global plays, and absent any other auditing filters [...] Billboard counts only U.S. based plays for its charts."{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/chart-beat/9380654/billboard-hot-100-number-one-calculations-6ix9ine|title= How Billboard Came to Its Calculations in This Week's Race For the Hot 100 No. 1 |magazine=Billboard|date=May 18, 2020|access-date=May 18, 2020}}
