Prior to the album's release, DJ Khaled shared his thoughts on collaborating with Roddy Ricch for "Body in Motion": "He's a young icon. When the vocals came in, I lost my mind.

Luke Morgan Britton from NME praised Lil Baby's appearances on Khaled Khaled, writing: "Lil Baby shows why he's one of the most effortless rappers right now with standout features on the trappy 'Every Chance I Get' and R&B smoothy 'Body In Motion'".[2]
