Reception

A.D. Amorosi, writing for Variety, described "Woo Baby" as a "dusky R&B duet".[6] Preezy Brown of Vibe magazine saw the song as a "bedroom romper" and mentioned that the "collaborative effort with Chris Brown proves [it]".[11] Writing for The Ringer, Micah Peters called Brown's feature on the song "unwelcome[d]".[12] In a negative review, Alphonse Pierre for Pitchfork mentioned he "[felt] dirty" while listening to "Woo Baby" and stated it was "obviously made to fill the radio airwaves with white noise".[9] Keith Nelson Jr. and Austin Williams for Vibe placed the song at number two on their list of "21 Songs That Were Probably Snubbed From Those Other Year-End Lists". Both authors stated that Brown "carries his end of this duet so deftly", and mentioned the song "contains the very best of Pop Smoke's artistry. And out of respect for said artistry, this should probably be the last the world hears of it".[13] In January 2022, "Woo Baby" was ranked at number 61 on Tinder Australia's "Top 100 Dating Anthems" list, which was based on the most popular songs on Australian Tinder profiles throughout 2021.[14]
