Composition
edit"Shmunk" employs "a warped bop" with "dancehall beats and melodic acoustic strings also eas[ing] their way into the production".[2]
Critical reception
editHotNewHipHop's Caleb Hardy noted that YoungBoy "is the one exception" to Yeat's attempt to "make up for the distinct lack of features by ushering in his alter-personas". On the track, YoungBoy "delivers a much-needed alternative voice".[2] Hardy also noted that Yeat "shows out with braggadocios bars, chiefly about having stacks of cash, buying new cars, and wearing designer brands".[1]
