 In a negative review of " Asking 4 It " , Sal Cinquemani of Slant called the track " dated " and " no more worthy of Stefani 's emotional exorcism than 2014 's stale ' Spark the Fire ' " . Emily Blake of Mashable thought that " Asking 4 It " was " an out @-@ of @-@ place hip @-@ hop track " , while Jordan Miller of BreatheHeavy felt that the song was " vulnerable " and unfavorably predicted that it will " probably become a single " in the future . Daniel Bromfield of Pretty Much Amazing panned " Asking 4 It " but enjoyed Fetty Wap 's contribution to the track ; Bromfield thought " it 's tragic how completely [ Fetty Wap ] upstages Stefani " and how Fetty Wap showed emotion during his verse while Stefani did not .
