Critical reception

Billboard placed the song at number 17 in their ranking of the songs from Music [2] and in ninth place on their list of the album's best guest features. Mackenzie Cummings-Grady wrote that "When Future finally enunciates and decides to rap, the result is exactly what you want from a Pluto verse. Carti's grainy baritone meshes perfectly with Future's galloping pace" and "The result on 'Trim' isn't anything groundbreaking, but it's impossible not to nod your head along to its undeniable groove." [1] Ben Beaumont-Thomas of The Guardian remarked "Future's triplet flow is fearsome and relentless on Trim, as if putting his nose to your face and backing you towards a ledge". [3] Christian Eede of The Quietus , on the other hand, stated that Future "largely phones it in" with his performance. [4]
