Critical reception

The song was met with a generally negative reception from music critics. Ben Brutocao of HipHopDX considered it among the tracks from God Did that "holds this project firmly back."^[2] Dani Blum of Pitchfork wrote, "Even Lil Baby can't resuscitate 'Big Time' from a plodding beat and the absurdity of Future's first line: 'Rainbow Audemars 'cause my bitch bisexual.'"^[3]

Music video

The official music video was released on August 26, 2022. It opens with DJ Khaled in a bubble bath, surrounded by "scantily clad beauties". One woman fans him with a palm frond and another feeds him grapes. When Khaled demands his butler to bring him a towel, another one of them appears only to remove the tray cover.^[4] Most of the clip sees Khaled, Future and Lil Baby on a lawn of a large mansion while in the company of women in bikinis, some of whom are lounging by the pool.^[4][5][6] All three artists wear a Royal Oak in the video.^[7]
