Critical reception
In a retrospetive review of the song, Steven J. Horowitz fom Vulture wrote: "Sweeping strings introduce "Triple Threat," the other A-side to 2012's "9th Inning." Elliott isn’t heard until a minute into the track, and aside from her palpable verses, Timbaland holds court for the majority, circling the hook, “Missy and I going up, triple leader in our cup"."
