Writing for Pitchfork ,Austin Brown said that "Jeremih and Ty Dolla $ign are unquestionably the natural successors to the figure of the 'R&B thug' that defined the R&B charts for most of the aughts" and felt that with MihTy,they have collaborated with producer Hitmaka to make a "project so buttery smooth that you might not realize how much it's at war with itself". [15] Brown said that Hitmaka and the rest of the producers "bring neon synth pads and a dash of vaguely Balearic electronic sparkle to the proceedings,eschewing deference in favor of,oddly enough,a chillwave-y evocation of 1990s R&B",which gives the singers a "woozy,classicist gilded cage in which [they are] set loose to ping-pong off each other". [15] Trevor Smith of HotNewHipHop called the record "a rare joint album that is more than the sum of its parts",judging that "Ty and Jeremih's extensive collaborative experience and willingness to come together as a proper songwriting team is really what takes it home."
