Critical reception
"Warlordz" was well received by most critics. Bella Bagshaw of Dancing Astronaut called the song "boisterous", and that it was "intuitively named for its audacious architects", finalising her review by stating that the track "exudes the complexity and dexterity of its creators, oscillating between throaty Asian vocals and tender piano-driven interludes." Your EDM 's Matthew Meadow noted that even though Skrillex only gets credited as a featured artist, it does not make his contributions to the song "any less bombastic" and that the style of both artists being "clearly presented in this 3-minute tribal bass journey", with TroyBoi's style of trap and bass music feeling "right at home" alongside Skrillex's heavy wobbles and punchy synths. Writing for T.H.E – Music Essentials, Pavan Kumar praised the song, mainly focusing on Skrillex's contributions to the song, calling such "raw, subtle and yet, ever-engaging" and his quality of work would make you go "absolutely berserk."
