The song received generally positive reviews. Will Schube of HipHopDX praised the production for "providing the perfect backdrop for the two lyricists to trade braggadocious bars" and called Lil Wayne's verse "show-stealing".[1] Comparing the song to their previous collaboration "Sinister", Zachary Horvath of HotNewHipHop wrote "we feel that 'Saturday Mornings' might be the stronger one of the two. From the extremely soulful production to the rappers' effortless change in tone, this song has it all."[3] Elaina Bernstein of Hypebeast remarked the song "sounds like what a Saturday morning should sound like. A soulful sample carries the melody, with Cordae and Weezy spitting smartly written bars atop it."[2] Shawn Grant of The Source described the rappers as "exchanging high-level lyrical bars for over four minutes, elevating their rap game."[4]
Music video
The music video was released alongside the single and directed by APLUS. It shows the rappers outside of an airplane hangar, as well as footage of the recording process of Cordae's upcoming album.[5]
