Composition and critical reception
Maximilian Diehl of HotNewHipHop felt that Toliver's "as the opening track on the record, one would hope for a good introduction", but "this certainly fails at that point, and it also serves as a good signpost for the rest of the album".[1] In an opposite review, Regina Cho of Revolt opined that "finds Toliver in his comfort zone with a moody instrumental for his descriptive lyrics".[2] While performing the song live, Toliver sings new vocals over the live instrumental at the end instead of singing the second verse.[3]
