Critical reception

The song was met with generally negative reviews from critics. Mosi Reeves of Rolling Stone described Lil Durk as "continuing a treacly yet charismatic pop-country collaboration". [1] Louis Pavlakos of HipHopDX commented it "reeks of desperation from a man seeking approval from people who don't respect Hip Hop." [2] In a review of Almost Healed for Pitchfork , Dylan Green criticized how the album "jumps between these personal revelations, sappy crossover treacle, and standard drill-and-pain tracks", additionally writing, "That balance is upset a handful of times, most notably on 'Stand by Me,' Durk's second collaboration with country singer Morgan Wallen. Their dedications to faceless love interests are sapped of all the detail, urgency, and personality that drives Durk's best songs." [3]
