Critical reception
"Oh U Went" received generally positive reviews from music critics. Aron A. of HotNewHipHop commented that Young Thug delivers "smooth flows with the elasticity of his voice" and "However, it's Drake that comes through with a stand-out verse filled with opulent flexes and effortless wordplay."[2] Mark Braboy of Rolling Stone described Drake as "perfectly shifting between rapping and harmonizing on 'Oh U Went'".[3] In an otherwise mixed review of Business Is Business, Vernon Ayiku of Exclaim! cited it as a stand-out and one of the few songs with "replay value", although stating it is "led mainly by the strength of Metro Boomin's production."[4] Paul A. Thompson of Pitchfork called the song "exultant" and "a potential hit, in large part due to Thug's unique ability to teeter on the tonal knife's edge that separates sincerity and contempt."[5]
