Composition and critical reception

edit

Zachary Horvath of HotNewHipHop gave a positive review, writing "the beat commands your attention right away. The twinkly and haunting piano melodies, along with the thumping bass and punchy kick drums add up for a winner of an instrumental. Kodak is arguably the best part of it though, with his stop-start flow and energetic delivery. Don also does his thing, keeping the engines revved."[1] Robin Murray of Clash commented that Don Toliver and Kodak Black "work perfectly on a club shaker",[2] while Gabriel Bras Nevares of HotNewHipHop commented they "flow like volatile but relentless gas leaks" on the song.[3]
