Critical reception
Tommy Faith of Triple J Unearthed said of the song: "These boys have a serious future ahead of them if they can keep dropping heaters like "German". The beat puts them in a different lane to plenty of the blossoming drill artists coming through right now and it’s the perfect oil slick for them to flow over."[2]
