"Kupe" received positive reviews from music critics. Abisola Shojobi of Independent wrote that the song is not, as promotional claims suggest, a "masterpiece", but rather a competent, well-produced Afropop single. He concluded that "Kupe" seems far more interested in being a vibe than in saying anything. Which is fine, in theory. And rated the song 3/5.[20] Daily Trust Review praised the production of the song, calling "Kupe" almost too polished.[21]
