C U Girl

The "woozy, laidback" song sees Lacy "charming his love interest with a tell-it-like-it-is sentiment" before "explaining that his talent means that he simply can't stick around".^[1] Halfway through, the song flips itself and plays in reverse.^[2]

Debbie Ijaduola of Clash said, "With heavy indie influences with a speckle of R&B, if anyone was still questioning who Steve Lacy was, this serves as a substantial example of Steve's signature style."^[3] Molly Dolan of Audacy said, "This simple and sweet song features Lacy's best qualities: his ability to write catchy lyrics over a bouncy guitar line."^[4]

Michele Johnson of Classic Rock History rated it as Lacy's fourth best song, and said, "This song might remind you of someone you can't be with for one reason or another. The music is mellow. It will have you tapping your foot to the beat. This is a track you will want to play when your long-distance lover is back in your arms. Steve Lacy's vocals are fire. He never misses a beat while he is singing. He takes a chance on his vocals by singing in a different key. His double has grit in his voice."^[5]
