Critical reception

In a ranking of all features on the album, Billboard 's Mackenzie Cummings-Grady placed "Crush" tenth and opined that the song feels more like a solo Carti song with Scott only providing adlibs, while saying that the song does not go in any proper direction. Cummings-Grady predicted the song to be another hit for the both of them although its "amalgamation of sounds feels like the beginning of an exciting new chapter for King Vamp [Carti]". [1] Angel Diaz and Michael Saponara later also ranked the song tenth of the overall album, opining that the song "feels like sitting in a church pew as they spread the Good Word over F1lthy and Ojivolta's beat that sounds like it's from a far away galaxy". [2] Vivian Medithi felt that Scott had the best feature on Music because of "Crush", describing that "F1LTHY and Ojivolta craft an instrumental that sounds like a gospel choir with blue balls having a paroxysm in the middle of a rave" and "it's extravagant and ridiculous and beyond melodramatic, but the synthesis doesn't just work—it floats". [3] In a premature evaluation for Stereogum , Tom Breihan opined that the "bloopy" keyboard "could've come from an '80s Nintendo-game soundtrack". [4]
