Composition

Larry Fitzmaurice of Pitchfork felt that "Astrothunder" sees producer Thundercat "dialing back his frenetic jazz-funk to a percolating crawl". [1] Aaron Williams of Uproxx summarized: "Almost lullaby-like toward the end, this one is more of a bridge point between the rowdy front half of Astroworld and its more mellow back end". [2] Andy Kellman of AllMusic described it one of his "most moving and personal cuts". [3]
