Yuck (Joyryde song)

Two days prior to release, Joyryde uploaded a preview for his next single to various social media platforms, including Instagram and Twitter.

Writing for Billboard, Koury Angelo wrote that the song took Joyryde's signature "dark house and runs it through mechanical whirs and tinny 808s.

"[4] Dancing Astronaut's Bella Bagshaw called the song one of Joyryde's "most lurid releases to date", writing that the song artists "use the track to rendezvous within the notion of keeping one’s head down while remaining devoted to an artistic endeavour in order to foster and maintain a sense of individualism in the process.

"[7] Peach Gallagher of Run the Trap praised the song's quality, writing that Joyryde "turns the party into a riot with god-like production skills that command listeners to kick it up a notch.

"[5] Writing for Your EDM, Karlie Powell praised the song, noting its mix of hip hop, bass, and trap music and writing that Joyryde "proves yet again that he’s the master of bass-driven, genre-bending certified slappers.
