The song received mediocre reviews from critics. Writing for Vibe ,Darryl Robertson stated that all three artists offer "grim verses,making for a memorable and organic street record". He noted that PnB Rock "delivers his signature Auto-tuned hook and verse" and that YoungBoy "closes out the song’s third verse with his concrete jungle-inspired raps." [1] HipHopDX 's Scott Glaysher stated that on the track,"listeners don’t learn much about [A Boogie wit da Hoodie]" due to him rapping "filler lines" on the song. He also stated that A Boogie's "hardcore rhymes don’t mix well with his Auto-Tuned vocals." [2] Writing for Pitchfork ,Kristin Corry stated that the track "screams like a faulty tribute" to Future's July 2015,"Freak Hoe" off of his third studio album, DS2 . [3]
The Travis Montgomery-directed music video was released months after the song's official audio on December 12,2017. The video shows the three rappers at Michael Jordan's basketball facility,Terminal 23 in New York City. It also shows the rappers playing NBA 2K18 together while rapping their lyrics. [4]
