Critical reception

In a review of Kirk, Crone stated "Of course, a DaBaby release comes with a certain set of lyrical staples: charismatic boasts come with reassuring regularity, and there are enough 'jit's and 'ain't no cap in my rap's to bring the record back home. Given the right production, Baby's charisma can carry them forward, with 'Toes' and 'There He Go' landing firmly in the upper ranks of his catalog." Will Schube of Complex wrote, "'Toes' works, mostly because of the whistle-led Kenny Beats production and the surprising chemistry between Moneybagg Yo and Lil Baby."[4]
