Composition
Robin Murray for Clash wrote that the track "subverts those rolling trap snares, its dub-like effects and low-end saturation conjuring feels of absence and melancholy". Jon Powell for Revolt TV wrote that the track "helps to show the listeners how far these talents exist above the opposition".

Music video
The Edem Wornoo-directed music video has several references to films: the burning money in the video refers to The Dark Knight in which The Joker is seen burning money, as the whole video is shot in reverse, it plays homage to TENET, and the gambling and prostitution scenes relate to Casino.
