"Yukon" was described by as one of the songs from Swag that "seem like real-time ruminations that often occupy Bieber's mind".[2] A pop song that features adlibs from 2 Chainz, its tone was compared to the music of SZA and Bieber's high-pitched vocals were compared to those of Frank Ocean on his album Blonde (2016).[3][4]
Critical reception
Yannik Gölz of Laut.de felt that it "is emblematic of the entire project: a simple, effective pop formula, enhanced with just the right amount of understatedly interesting ideas".[4] Adam White of The Independent described it as "a jittery slice of SZA-style melancholy, Bieber's voice pitched so high that you could swear a guest vocalist has been left unbilled on the tracklist".[5] Lyndsey Havens of Billboard ranked it eleventh among the album's tracks, saying that "if it wasn't included on his own album, it may be hard to guess that 'Yukon' is a Bieber track", but "save for his own backing vocals, which are undeniably JB".[2]
