Critical reception
"Thank God" received generally positive reviews from music critics. Mike Destefano of Complex deemed "Thank God" the third best song from Utopia and said its beat switch was among his favorite instrumental pieces on the record. In addition, he commented in regard to the album that "it feels like he's doing some of the best rapping of his career here" and tracks like "Thank God" display this best. Robin Murray of Clash called the song a "bravura performance, ominous yet also subtle".[6] Aron A. of HotNewHipHop had a less favorable reaction, writing that the line "Shit I speak is what they need" is a "statement that feels out of touch with reality, considering that he doesn't really say anything profound."[7]
Mackenzie Cummings-Grady of Billboard placed the song at number 14 in her ranking of the songs from Utopia.[8]
