## Critical reception

Yinoluwa Olowofoyeku of Afrocritik, reviewing the Chapter X album, described "Won Da Mo" as a "powerhouse single" brimming with infectious energy and a grand epic atmosphere, brought to life by Andrevibez's fast-paced drums and emotive production. She highlighted Rema, Magixx, and Ayra Starr as standout performers and noted that Johnny Drille's outro, which she described as "soulful" and softer, provided a fitting conclusion to the track. Olowofoyeku also remarked that the collaborative chorus added a powerful choir effect that enhanced the song's impact.
Writers for the Native magazine shared varied perspectives on "Won Da Mo." Uzoma acknowledged Andre Vibez's "astute fusion of sounds" on the track, blending elements of rock and amapiano, although noting that the song was not a personal favorite due to its complexity. Daniel praised the production for its combination of rock guitars and rhythmic percussions, describing it as "perfection" even before the vocals began. While "Amina" was Wonu's standout production on the project, she highlighted how Vibez's work on the record seamlessly brought together kicks and snares to create a melodic cohesion.
