Critical reception
Vivian Medithi of Pitchfork commented "When Sugar Honey Iced Tea tries to come across brusque and threatening on would-be Playboi Carti song 'Blick Sum,' it feels silly rather than savage."[3] Elias Andrews of HotNewHipHop stated "The rapper was commended for her rhyming ability and her presence on the mic, and 'Blick Sum' was a perfect example. She carried the menacing song on sheer charisma alone."[4]

Remix
The remix featuring Playboi Carti leaked online in 2024, even before Sugar Honey Iced Tea was released.[5][6] It was released on January 28, 2025, after Latto teased the collaboration on the previous day.[7] In a newly added second verse, Carti details his interest in firearms, as well as his jewelry (including a chain designed by Johnny Dang) and drug use.[2]
Elias Andrews of HotNewHipHop remarked "The remix might be even better though. While not slapped with the tag of 'remix' on streaming, the new 'Blick Sum' is notable for having a guest verse from one of the most elusive artists in the game. And it's a good one at that." He also described that Playboi Carti "almost sounds like a more severe Danny Brown".[4]
Music video
An accompanying music video was released alongside the remix. Directed by Hidji World and Gunner Stahl, it shows a neon-lit carousel where scantily-clad dancers in masks dance on the poles.[5][8] Latto and Playboi Carti rap at the carnival and next to a white Rolls-Royce Cullinan,[8][9] and show off their cash.[5][6] Latto also wears a fur coat at the carousel.[2] The clip features a cameo from rapper 2 Chainz.[5]
