Critical reception
Laura McInnes from Sniffers said "'Lil' Obsession' blends contemporary R&B with timeless live instrumentation, pulling from jazz, neo-soul, blues, and pop to craft an Anderson .Paak-esque R&B anthem with lyrics speaking to letting go of an infatuation turned expired relationship."[8]
Amalia Castle from Oculate said "Wrapping listeners up in the sonic equivalent of a heated blanket in this latest release, BOY SODA relays sentiments on vulnerability and the dreaded breakdown of a relationship, continuing to sharpen his artist signature which sees him incorporate honest and human song writing and creative expression."[2]
Sarah Downs from Rolling Stone Australia called the song "Smooth as hell".[1]
