Critical reception
The song received generally positive reviews from critics. Lucy Shanker of Consequence commented, "Lil Baby sounded so good on 'Bad Bad Bad' that Thug named the next song after him like he did in the JEFFREY days."[2] Alphonse Pierre of Pitchfork stated, "His most accomplished pupil, Lil Baby, makes him proud on “Bad Bad Bad,” as his unrelatable boasts about real estate and foreign whips are on par with Thug."[1] Jeff Heinzl of Spectrum Culture commented "we can take great pleasure in Thugger's vocal acrobatics", mentioning as an example Young Thug's ability to "squeeze a colony of words into a tiny bit of space" as shown in the song.[3] Scott Glaysher of HipHopDX wrote that "those with a deep desire for overtly audible hit records need look no further than 'Bad Bad Bad' with Lil Baby".[4]
