The song was met with mixedreviews received by critics. HotNewHipHop said in a review "Sevyn Streeter continues to roll out new music in support of her forthcoming album Girl Disrupted, which is expected to arrive early next year. After hitting us with “Prolly” with Gucci Mane & “All My Love ” recently, Sevyn decides to keep it moving by dropping off another leak for us today called “D4L” featuring singer/songwriter The Dream." That Grape Juice described the song as a "racy track finds Sevyn in familiar territory – the bedroom. Tuck into the pulsating production after the jump… ‘D4L’ fuses the right dose of breeze and banger to make for a track that can be played in the club and in the car – top down."
