Critical reception
Hamza Riaz of Mic Cheque wrote in a review of Heroes & Villains, "There's no sensational beat that holds a candle to production like Without Warning's "Rap Saved Me" or the layers of "Don't Come Out the House", bringing up the "first twenty seconds" of "Umbrella" as one of the "closest moments" but also stating that the production "should have returned at some point in the song". Riaz considered "Umbrella" one of the best tracks from the album as well.[2] Robert Blair of HotNewHipHop gave a positive review, writing, "the reverberating, poised piano of 'Umbrella' gives 21 Savage the chance to resummon the macabre energy of the Savage Mode team-up, alongside a highly complimentary verse from his cousin Young Nudy."[3]
