[11] Carl Lammare of Billboard highlighted the contrast between Cole's and Savage's "styles and personalities", though both "prove how formidable they can be as a unit and that together, they can wreak havoc on any given track".
[6] Varun Krishan of The Indian Express praised the song, noting the "great lyrics, impeccable flow and excellent delivery" combined with a "smooth and soothing" hook, as well as a beat with a "vocal melody infused to it which enhances the sound to match the vibe the creators are trying to produce".
