Critical reception

[edit]

Billboard ranked it as the 18th best song from Music, with Angel Diaz commenting "Playboi and Swamp make a good team, as the former raps bars like, 'I'm prayin' for all my opps while I'm hawking for my next bi—h/Oh, you prayin' for them motherf—kers now, Carti?/Yeah, they got a death wish,' as the latter screams ad libs in the background as if he was on crank for real."[2] Christian Eede of The Quietus described the song as "highly addictive".[3]
