In July 2014, Billboard listed '0 to 100' as one of the '10 Best Songs of 2014 (so far)' saying that 'months after releasing another hit album, Drizzy returned briefly to take it from '0 to 100' with careening bars punctuated by boasts like 'If I ain't the greatest, then I'm headed for it'.' The magazine also listed the track as the best rap song of 2014. The song received critical acclaim from music critics, appearing on several year-end top 10 lists. The second half of the song, titled 'The Catch Up', features a sample of an unreleased James Blake song, and contrasts the boisterous claims of the first half with a pensive promise: that 'if hasn't passed you yet, watch catch up now.' Critical reception Instead of 'starting from the bottom', '0 to 100' speaks of the rapper going from zero to one-hundred in order to gain ground on all of his competition. The first song, '0 to 100', is a stripped-back hip hop song that sonically and thematically resembles Drake's ' Started from the Bottom' from his third studio album, Nothing Was the Same (2013). '0 to 100 / The Catch Up' is a two part song with a length of six minutes and eight seconds.
