Critical reception

Jay Seabrook from EDM Tunes said "'Honey Boy' sees the four musical powerhouses unite to create an electrifying summer anthem. The group combined the infectious grooves of classic funky disco with modern pop sensibilities. 'Honey Boy' transports listeners to a realm of pure euphoria with its rhythm, vocals and driving energy."[2]

Culture Fix said "The number is a delicious summer anthem that has to size up as one of Benjamin's best tracks yet."[3]

Molly from This Song is Sick said "The track is full of bright, funky instrumentation, and vibrant vocal lines that make you want to get up and dance."[4]
