Reception and composition

According to Stereogum, the track lacks the typical production that Pharrell Williams is known for, instead falling into more moody, cinematic trap music.[2] Sophie Caraan of Hypebeast noted the track's synths as being "sharp" and that they "lay over the trap beats", giving space for Cudi, Williams, and Scott to "smoothly slide across the track and deliver an inconspicuous but bewitching cut."[3]

Trace William Cowen of Complex described that track as Kid Cudi, Pharrell, and Travis Scott using "nightlife's edge as a soundscape" on the track.[4] Writing for US weekly, Jason Brow stated that the track "finds the hip-hop trio stylin' and profilin' like Ric Flair, and each participant takes a moment to drop a fashion-inspired line on the track."[5]

HipHipnMore believed the track was a "banger" with the potential to become a big song.[6] Euphoria's Amanda Lang enjoyed the track, describing it as a "moody and cinematic house party track", also noting the departure from Williams usual Funk style. They overall believed the track was, while more laid back than much of Cudi's music in terms of having personal lyricism, is still no less fantastic and another line of success for Cudi.[7]

Writing for Uproxx, Aaron Williams stated that the track features "a loopy, bass heavy beat" that backs up rap verses from the three artists, furthermore, stating that they "each perform with a buzzy filter and a droning delivery". They also went on to compliment the effects, believing that they "help make the three verses more lively, considering none of the three has ever really been anyone's idea of a showstopping rapper".[8]
