In an interview with Bullett Media, Juicy J tells about the collaboration with Minaj, Bibby and Thug: "I never told anybody I had a record with Bibby or Young Thug or Nicki Minaj. The day before I dropped it, I was like, "Yo! Guess what?" And a lot of my fans on Twitter were like, "What?" I was like, "I'm dropping a new single tomorrow with Lil Bibby, Young Thug, and Nicki Minaj." They couldn't believe it. That's what I'm doing. I'm shocking people."

"Low" garnered a positive reception from music critics. Rick Florino of Artistdirect.com gave praise to the song's beat and the lyrics from all three rappers, calling it "another bona fide anthem from the king of all things." Joey DeGroot of Music Times praised the production and likened Nicki's Minaj's verse more than Juicy J's saying, "While Juicy's rhymes are pretty laidback, Nicki's completely blow everything apart, spitting furiously with her trademark taunt." Brennan Carley of Spin also credited the song to Minaj's appearance, saying she "demonstrates her lyrical prowess with rhymes like, "I'm fly every day but a bitch ain't trippin' / You be on that bull, you be on Scottie Pippen."
