Critical reception
AllMusic's Andy Kellman put it alongside 'She Said I'm Hood Tho' and 'One More' as being "all tough but finely crafted slow jams."[3] Justin Charity of Complex described the song as "the rare, contemporary hit, with obvious appeal to Juicy J and to the rest of us as a clean, big beat swing at urban radio play."[4]
