Critical reception

The song received generally positive reviews from music critics. Jordan Rose of Complex considered it the best song from For All the Dogs Scary Hours Edition.^[5] Shahzaib Hussain of Clash described the bridge as "the apex of Drake's dismissal with bleak diaristic lines that draw a sharp intake of breath, or an eye roll."^[4] In an album review, Nadine Smith of HipHopDX called it "The one track that sees Drake put aside the try-hard lyrical miracle aspirations" and "the kind of triumphantly vindictive anthem that few artists can do better."^[3]
