Yeray S. Iborra of Mondo Sonoro stated that with Slow Wine, Bad Gyal "dissociates herself from the disruptive nature of trap to embrace what she always considered her musical origins: Jamaican music", and that "night, money or love are part of a concept that clashes with the purism of those who wanted to see in [her] a banner of political commitment."[2]
