Critical reception
Writing for The Daily Telegraph, Thomas Hobbs described the track as a "soulful posse cut", noting that it is "a welcome change of pace, with each emcee approaching their verse like they’re giving a ghetto sermon in a Church".[6] For DIY, Sean Kerwick stated that "Fredo and Ghetts cut through with their razor-sharp delivery before Giggs steps into frame with that unmistakable baritone" before concluding that each artists are "given a moment to trace their story from hard beginnings to the status they’ve climbed to".[5] Writing for The Guardian, Rachel Aroesti described the track as "a gospel-butressed production involving London indie-electronic duo Mount Kimbie".[7] The Line of Best FitШаблон:'s Kyann-Sian Williams' take from the track is that "Dave uses gospel to speak on being tried in the flames".[8] The IndependentШаблон:'s Helen Brown states that the "gospel-powered" track emphasizes the posse's "tales of surviving urban violence".[9]
