Suanshu Khurana of Indian Express was more critical as they wrote that the song "may not be perfect in terms of musicality" and "even cheesy", but also praised its "catchy melody, unique voices, and those heady beats". Khurana also noted the orchestration's comtemporary feel, which is almost exclusively created by an Octopad with the only Punjabi folk instrument being the tumbi.[4]
