Harlow teased the song on his social media before its release, with an Instagram snippet of him and Pooh Shiesty listening to the song receiving over 1 million views.[1] The production contains elements of 808s, percussion and dark chords,[1] and was handled by Go Grizz and Smash David.[2]
Jada Carson of Kazi Magazine wrote that the song's production "made for the perfect canvas for Jack Harlow and Pooh Shiesty to make their presence known in a flowing yet confident way", saying that "the wittiness of Pooh Shiesty gives the single an edge that he could only give".[1] Carson also suggested that the song displays that "there's patience and more in-depth thoughts than just the surface-level perception for Jack Harlow", connecting it to Harlow's recent releases where he references "his position in this music industry" and "the doubt that people have about his rap career".[1]
For The Fader, Jordan Darville called "SUVs (Black on Black)" a "catchy demonstration of Harlow's flexibility", and wrote that Harlow's brags "sound comfortable next to Pooh Shiesty".[3] Writing for The Source, Shawn Grant said that Harlow and Shiesty "play off each other well for the banger that is soon to slide into your rotation".[4] In GRM Daily, Courtney W said that, despite the differing styles of Harlow and Shiesty, "the two artists link up effortlessly on this track and go back to back on the bass-heavy production to flaunt their lavish lifestyles".[5]
Billboard writer Jason Lipshutz contrasted the song with Harlow's previous single, "Industry Baby" with Lil Nas X, calling "SUVs (Black on Black)" a "grimier, more unforgiving affair".[6] Lipshutz opined that the single connected Louisville and Memphis "over a rattling beat", and provided "an effective contrast of mic approaches" between Harlow and Shiesty.[6]
