"Tomorrow 2" received universal acclaim from critics. Both Eddie Fu of Consequence and Tom Briehan of Stereogum praised the compatibility of GloRilla and Cardi B's collaboration.

Andrew Unterberger of Billboard highlighted Cardi's verse in particular, calling it "her most vicious guest verse in years".{{Cite magazine |last1=Billboard Staff |last2=Unterberger |first2=Andrew |date=December 7, 2022 |title=The 100 Best Songs of 2022: Staff List |url=https://www.billboard.com/lists/best-songs-2022/ |access-date=January 8, 2023 |magazine=Billboard |language=en-US}}
