Shaad D'Souza of The Fader described the track as a "a fiery new collaboration" and highlighted Bad Gyal's "dexterous sing-rapping". Skope at Skopemag thought the song was "a beat-driven beauty that’s both irresistibly sexy and heartrendingly melancholy with powerful threads of longing and desire".
