"Bazooka" was widely recognized for its viral appeal and unique blend of humor and melody. Alexander Cole of HotNewHipHop described "Bazooka" as a song "that proves the aura of 2016 is still alive and well."
The New York Times recognized the track's impact by naming it "Song of the Week" from February 17, 2026, to February 24, 2026. Writer Jon Caramanica described "Bazooka" as one of the most durable meme songs of the year, highlighting its viral spread across SoundCloud, TikTok, and social media, and noted the contrast between the song's laid-back, melodic trap production and its darkly humorous lyrics, particularly the hook: "Kaboom, kablaow, kaboom / Rest in peace my granny, she got hit by a bazooka". Caramanica also emphasized the track's cultural impact, with fans interpreting it as comedy, dance, and even therapy, and concluded that the song blends humor, musical skill, and viral creativity, making it a defining soundtrack of early 2026.
