Critical reception

The song received generally positive reviews. Billboard's Carl Lamarre ranked it as the sixth best song from The Fall-Off and wrote "The gumbo reaches its boil when a soulful Tems arrives at the tail end, bringing the mega-collaboration full circle."[1] Alexander Cole of HotNewHipHop called it a "spectacular collaboration", remarking "'Bunce Road Blues' just sounds fantastic, too. Everyone is putting their best foot forward on this one. Cole and Future deliver some dope bars, while Tems soars over The Alchemist's production. Truly, a one-of-a-kind song on an album that is living up to the hype."[3] Clash's Robin Murray considered it a highlight of The Fall-Off and stated "Tems' voice lights up 'Bunce Road Blues' like a warning signal."[4] Regarding the song, Mosi Reeves of Rolling Stone commented that "Tems closes that number with a nice vocal."[2] William Rosebury of The Line of Best Fit regarded it as within the "most accomplished run on the album", praising its "pure composition".[5] Reviewing the album for Pitchfork, Benny Sun responded negatively to the track, describing it as one of the songs that "approach five minutes with no distinct direction" and the beat as "milquetoast".[6]
