Critical reception

Charles Holmes of Rolling Stone judged that the song keeps PartyNextDoor's "tropical pop and drastic AutoTune vocal runs [...] intact, but there's also a new sense of sweetness".[1] Jordan Darville of The Fader wrote that the track "combined PartyNextDoor's talent for the left-of-center with his impeccable pop instincts, which were boosted by a feature from Drake".[2]

gollark: So you need more weight and thus more motors.
gollark: So your drone is down half the time?
gollark: I think the main issue is just that there isn't enough sunlight to run motors constantly with current solar panels.
gollark: Hardly.
