Critical reception

The song received generally positive reviews from music critics. Robin Murray of Clash remarked that the song has a "beautiful feature from Summer Walker", which he described as among the most creative moments in American Dream.^[2] Teejay Small of HotNewHipHop also praised Walker's performance, describing it as "heavenly vocal".^[3] Grant Rindner of Variety cited the line "Talk about me in your stories / Bae, sub-tweet me" as one of the album's "standout bars".^[4] Matthew Ritchie of Pitchfork had a mixed reaction to the song, writing it "falls short of the intrinsic charisma produced by the likes of a Busta Rhymes and Mariah Carey collaboration: 21's materialistically vapid bars are washed away by Walker's runs, which feel as though they belong to one of her emotionally charged ballads."^[5]
