Elias Leight of Rolling Stone called the song "loopy" and praised Lil Wayne's contribution to the song, saying "Wayne shines during his verse, delivering self-destructive rhymes while skipping nimbly around the plodding beat."[2] Carly Mallenbaum of USA Today felt that the song is "sexy."[3]

Commercial performance

In North America, the song reached number 15 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 3 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
