Critical reception

edit

Gabriel Bras Nevares of HotNewHipHop regarded the song as one of the "so-so records" of the first five tracks in Mixtape Pluto which "lose their value when stacked up against better cuts in that same section."[2] Reviewing the mixtape for Pitchfork, Paul A. Thompson wrote "When he slips into slow, languid flows, as he does on 'Lil Demon' and 'Plutoski,' the writing is laid bare—and is revealed, virtually without exception, as incisive and sometimes shockingly self-critical."[3] Aaron Williams of Uproxx commented, "The hypnotic, chant-like choruses? They're represented here on tracks like 'Lil Demon' and 'Aye Say Gang.' The rapping is as crisp as it's ever been."[4]
