Critical reception

Michael Saponara of Billboard ranked "Red Leather" as the fifth best song on We Still Don't Trust You.[3] Saponara described the track as "seven minutes of smooth raps".[3]

Writing for Clash, Robin Murray wrote that the track is "one of the best" on the album and that the track has a "breezy West Coast feel" accompanied by "Cole’s introspection offering something distinctive".[4] Sputnikmusic's Dakota West Foss compared the beat to NyQuil, suggesting that it's boring and stated that Cole's verse matches the beat.
