"Smokin out the Window" is a R&B, soul. [10] [11] It has been described as a "buttery ballad", a "requisite breakup song" and "smooth". [12] [13] [14] Jacob Uitti writing for American Songwriter said the song draws inspiration from the 1970s sound and that Silk Sonic sing "about the realization that a lover is not being faithful and has many other men on the side". [15] The lyrics are about a man who has pampered a woman too much, and she is using the man and having relationships with other men. [16] [11] Paak croons as he recalls a former lover, singing "Just the other night she was gripping on me tight, screaming 'Hercules!'", and "drawing out the melody over a weighty bassline". [17]

Jon Dolan from Rolling Stone noted the song's "deceptively" title because it tells the story of a "stressed-out boyfriend" complaining about his girlfriend's "badass kids" and "a jam with her ex-man in the UFC". [18] Entertainment Weekly 's Leah Greenblatt said "Even Casanovas get the blues, though; "Smoking Out the Window" pines prettily for a girl who can't stop stepping out." [19] According to Wongo Okon writing for Uproxx , Silk Sonic show their "spite towards a former lover that walked out of them"[ sic ], and the single "finds Bruno and .Paak venting about their former lovers' actions". [20] Jon Pareles of The New York Times said the song is "bitter but still lovelorn song about a gold-digger ex". [21] Erika Marie from HotNewHipHop said Silk Sonic are "dealing with women whose demands are stressing them out". [22]

Ross Scarano from Pitchfork described the song as a "heartbroken lament". [23] Billboard 's Jason Lipshutz called it "an amiable slow jam with a slightly higher spring in its step than "Leave the Door Open". [24] Elijah Watson of Okayplayer found similarities between "Smokin out the Window" and "Leave the Door Open" due to its "steady and downtempo groove". Watson said the track details an ended relationship, and finds Mars and .Paak "heartbroken and hurt"; Watson also said the song sounds sad but most of the lyrics are funny, and the "scenarios the pair's lovers have put them in leav[e] them stressed out". [25]

Critical reception

"Smokin out the Window" was met with mixed reviews from most music critics. Regina Cho writing for Revolt praised the duo, who "bounce off of each other's energy perfectly as soon as the opening drums hit".

[27] In a mixed review, Lipshutz complemented Silk Sonic's "smooth move" with "Smokin Out The Window" and despite their new songs enhancing each other's "solid-gold impulses, their chemistry now sounds like a foregone conclusion". [24] Paste 's Candace McDuffie criticized the song's "playful lyricism that borders on parody" but said Silk Sonic "hyperbolic" delivery saves the track. [28] In a negative review, Hot Press 's Pat Carty said the single "has its tongue so firmly in its cheek, it's poking clean through" and labeled it "as groovy as a country lane". [29] Scarano did not enjoy the track, saying "this is a cartoon revival of a well-worn aesthetic". [23]
