 Critics have suggested affinities between "Landcruisin '" and the works of other artists. Marc Hogan of Pitchfork considered D'Angelo's third studio album Black Messiah (2014) as an inspiration for the song; Chris Kelly wrote in Fact that it reminds him of "Miguel circa Art Dealer Chic". Additionally, Prince was frequently cited by journalists reviewing the track, as exemplified by ShortList contributor David Cornish analysing "Landcruisin'" as "a blockbuster soundscape" characterised by "overdrive riffs" and "lyrical tones" resemblant of the aforementioned artist.
