The song received generally positive reviews. Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic wrote, "Of the immediate highlights, his Travis Scott collaboration 'Solitaires' is the album's champion, a flawless blend of their complimentary [sic] vocal styles and top-notch production by Wheezy that combines bass booms with haunting atmospherics similar to Scott's "Sicko Mode" and "Highest in the Room."[5] Luke Morgan Britton of NME called it "a particular highlight, otherworldly and dizzying", adding, "The song lives up to the album's billing as a cathartic distraction from the real world's ills, as both artists manage to fit quarantine bars into a club-ready banger."[6] HipHopDX's Dana Scott wrote a mixed response to the song, commenting that Travis Scott is "effective" while writing, "But they latch onto the new eye-rolling cliché metaphor of late among rappers about the coronavirus for the hook."[3]
