Ryan Middleton of Music Times gave the song a positive review, saying "it has the spacey, stoner sound that fans loved from the Cudi on his first couple of albums". Fuse's Tyler Lauletta wrote that "the song is a return to form for Cudi, with shout-outs to women and psychedelic drugs in his signature sultry tone". Chico from Respect. wrote that Cudi "hums, sings and even lyrically dances all over this one, like we always knew he could". C. Vernon Coleman II of XXL wrote; "The dreamy production is highlighted by odd sound effects and spaced out chords". ==Music video==

The music video for the song, directed by Cudi himself, premiered on October 12, 2016, via his Vevo channel. The five-minute video features Cudi performing the song shirtless in a dark jungle. It also shows him having a threesome in a mushroom cave. The Boombox's Jacinta Howard called the video "dark and artistic", while Rap-Up called it "dark and smoky". Elisabeth Brier from Uproxx wrote; "It’s a sort of R-rated Wonderland. That’s perhaps the best way to describe the world depicted in Kid Cudi‘s new music video for "Frequency"." Pigeons & Planes named it as one of the best music videos released in October 2016. ==References==
