Critical reception

Mackenzie Cummings-Grady of Billboard placed "Different Species" at number seven in her ranking of the songs from Kiari, writing that the rappers' styles "perfectly complement" each other in a way that "creates a dynamic interplay that's hard to ignore." She added "While the subject matter treads familiar braggadocious territory, the sheer smoothness of their execution makes it hard to complain."[1]
