Critical reception

Marc Hogan of

E! Online felt that "it's hard not to feel some goosebumps rise at the first sound of Aaliyah's soft voice, but quickly, listeners can find themselves taken by the single and moving their head to the smooth beat".[7] MTV's Nadeska Alexis commented that Shebib's production "complements Aaliyah's vocals nicely on the track."[8] Gerrick D. Kennedy of the Los Angeles Times felt that "Drake still deserves to be applauded for the track", despite his "usual struggling-with-fame-pathos" rap verse and its diverse reception with fans of Aaliyah, writing that "rarely do artists get the chance to revive their inspirations, certainly not as deftly as he's done with the track.[6]

By contrast,

Idolator criticized his rap as "ill-advised" and "ho-hum", and stated, "this is not the 'tribute' we would have liked to hear."[10]
