Nada Mesh from HotNewHipHop deemed it as "a beat reminiscent of a Pharell and Daft Punk type song". Skylar de Paul from The Daily Californian said that the song was "an empowering lo-fi funk" and felt that the track is "a melodic argument between both sides of the disagreement, and boy is it entertaining". Adriane Pontecorvo from PopMatters described that Yuna's refrain of the song "that sells this as a song to belt out even as the singer keeps things subtle".Personnel
