 Sal Cinquemani from "Slant Magazine" compared "Wolf & I" to the work of Björk, and claimed it was influenced by the trip-hop genre.Along the same line, Fraser McAlpine from the BBC found similarities to the music of Welch and Katy B, calling it "part airy myth and part earthy bass throb".A reviewer for Mixtape Muse described the recording as "cinematic without losing its heart in the expansive sound", while Andrew Hannah from The Line of Best Fit labelled it as "a sultry R&B groove jam".
