Composition and critical reception

Gabriel Bras Nevares of HotNewHipHop felt that Toliver's "control of both clubby choruses and chopped-and-screwed-adjacent Southern rap on 'NEW DROP' offers inescapable refrains". [1] In a similar review, Perrin Kapur of SportsKeeda opined that "the production of NEW DROP is very similar to Afro-trap and Latin music from the use of percussion instrumentals mixed with heavy bass drops and synthesizers" as "the song revolves around Don's mental conflict with love, as he finds himself confused about which of the two women in his life he should choose". [2] Writing for NPR , Sheldon Pearce said that he sounds like "like a sexbot floating through a wind tunnel". [3]
