Composition and critical reception

Grant Rindner of Variety considered the song one of the "standout cuts" from American Dream which show his chemistry with Metro Boomin. [1] Reviewing the album for Uproxx , Aaron Williams stated that while songs like "Dangerous" "traverse well-worn territory for the lanky Atlantan, they coexist fairly cozily alongside latter-half ballads", adding that 21 Savage "sounds equally convincing while threatening to turn 'turn bullies to ashes'" on the song.
