Critical reception

Rolling Stone wrote that the song's "island and house-flavored grooves servpe as an undercurrent to [Swae Lee and Drake's] rhymes, which discuss the merits of taking it slow in a relationship".[3] XXL described the song as a "banger" and a "dance track" with an "island bop" featuring Swae Lee's "croons" and Drake rhyming about a "complicated relationship".[4]
