Dubbed a standout track by HotNewHipHop, the song debuted at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 four months prior to its official release as a single, becoming Drake's eleventh and 21 Savage's second number-one hit on the chart.
[2] Generally, the song gives an insight into Drake's "professional journey" and makes reference to his former career in acting.
[4][5] References include NBA duo Shaquille O'Neal and the late Kobe Bryant, as well as the slapping incident of Will Smith and Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards.
Justin Curto at Vulture praised Drake's performance for reaching "just about full crooner mode here", while 21 Savage's appearance elevated the song to making it "the most high-energy, lucid moment of the record".
[8] Billboard's Michael Saponara called it the best song on Honestly, Nevermind, pointing out that Drake "had to remind listeners he's at the top of the food chain in the rap game by saving the best for last".
