Critical reception
Kemet High of Complex gave a positive review of the song, describing it as "elegant" and writing "Turbo's production rewraps James Blake's 'Do You Ever?' into a dreamy vista that Gunna glides over with aquatic flows. All in all, 'Bachelor' adds to the plush archive of two talented musicians that truly don't miss together. There's no reality where someone won't run this back after pressing play for the first time."[6]
