Music critics were complimentary about the presentation of Drake's emotional side, as well as its production, but criticized its lyrics as sexist. A music video directed by Director X was released two months later; it subsequently gained popularity on YouTube and spawned several parodies. The song was included on several year-end critics' polls.
"Hotline Bling" reached number two on the US Billboard Hot 100. It also reached number three in Drake's native Canada and the United Kingdom. The song won the award for Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Song at the 2016 American Music Awards.[3] It also received two wins at the 2017 Grammy Awards for Best Rap Song and Best Rap/Sung Performance.[4]
