==Composition and critical reception== Vincent Thomas of AllMusic considered the song a "total departure from the vibe present on 'Who Got da Props'" and called it a "subtly horrific track over which Buckshot premiered a more deliberate flow that bespoke controlled menace."<ref>{{cite web|last=Thomas|first=Vincent|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/enta-da-stage-mw0000106183|title=Enta da Stage – Black Moon|publisher=AllMusic|access-date=March 19, 2024}}</ref> Cheo Hodari Coker of ''The Source'' commented the song "bring[s] things to a thunderous close, leaving the listener thirsting for more."<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Coker|first=Cheo H.|author-link=Cheo Hodari Coker|url=http://www.duckdown.com/magz/BMsourcealbumreview_big.jpg|title=Black Moon: Enta da Stage|magazine=The Source|issue=50|location=New York|date=November 1993|access-date=March 19, 2024|page=75|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051125151310/http://www.duckdown.com/magz/BMsourcealbumreview_big.jpg|archive-date=November 25, 2005|url-status=unfit}}</ref>
