Critical reception

Robin Murray of Clash described the song as "a muscular, pulse-quickening experience, made all the more so by situating it against the cartoonish 'Huntin' Wabbitz'".[1] Paul A. Thompson of Pitchfork wrote that in the song, "Cole begins by approximating Juelz Santana's style (spare, epigrammatic), then ratchets up the pace and word count. There is an indelible quality to the best Juelz verses that few rappers could ever replicate, but this is one of Cole's best showings on Might Delete Later—and recalls certain stretches of To Pimp a Butterfly, where Kendrick grafted more syllables onto airy P-funk beats than many of that style's originators ever had."[2]
