According to Jennifer Mota for the Spanish-language magazine People en Español, Queen pays homage by referencing songs and lyrics performed by her male peers within the genre of reggaeton. According to Mota, the song is from a woman's perspective.[3] Billboard magazine's Jessica Roiz called "787" an "infectious song" that "pays homage to old-school reggaeton."[4] Roiz noted the sampling of early 2000s reggaeton songs in 2019 becoming a trend.[4]
