Critical reception
The song received generally positive reviews. Luke Benjamin of Passion of the Weiss commented that "Sada is kinetic,his synergy with Drego lilting towards some kind of rough alchemy",adding "'Bloxk Party' is the most fulfilled realization of Sada disarming,wily charm. There's seemingly layers of disdain and a voluble sneer in his voice that has already carved out a deep back-catalog —much of it still unengaged with critically. As it is,breakouts often have the side-effect of erasure—years of work obscured by a singular tide."[6] Tom Breihan of Stereogum wrote "If all you know about the Detroit rapper is 'Bloxk Party,' the ridiculously fun 2018 collaboration with fellow Detroit rapper Drego,you would know that Sada Baby could dance. You would know that he could come up with viciously enjoyable punchlines. You would know that he’s an absolute hurricane of berserk,energetic charisma."[9] Harold Bingo of Passion of the Weiss remarked "What is there to say about this song that has not already been said? It is one of the best hookless rap songs of the decade. Drego's opening bar sets the track off perfectly. The delivery of each line makes me relate to stuff that I shouldn't." He called it "a testament to Sada and Drego,because they make all of these bars feel lived in and realistic."[3]
The music video finds the rappers throwing a party.[4] They are seen standing on a kitchen island,wriggling and dancing,[2][7][8] including doing the robot.[7] The clip features cameos from Detroit rappers Beno,BandGang Lonnie Bands and BandGang Masoe.[4]
