"Find Us" was released to mainly positive critical reception: Jason Birchmeier of AllMusic considered it a "standout" song, while Tom Doggett of RapReviews.com added that it has a "marvelous minimalist beat" and "catchy hook." Low Key of MVRemix.com described "Find Us" as "a perfect club song for the summer" because of its "infectious handclaps." On a less positive note, Robert DeGracia of AllHipHop.com claimed: "['Find Us'] is a complete eye-crosser that makes listeners struggle to make sense of what's exactly rocking around the clock."
