Musically, "Paperwork" combines elements ofhip-hop andBrazilian funk.[7]
"Paperwork" received generally favorable reviews frommusic critics. Paul A. Thompson ofPitchfork wrote that although its use of Brazilian funk "suggests little beyond the vague idea that he should dabble in Brazilian funk—there is enough commitment behind the boards to sell nearly anything."[8] Calling it the fourteenth best song fromVultures 1,Billboard's Michael Saponara complimented Quavo's feature, saying that he "does an admirable job outside of his comfort zone", but was unsure why it made the album instead of songs that were better received during listening events, such as "Everybody", "Time Moving Slow", and "River".[9] AtHotNewHipHop, Wyatt Westlake deemed Quavo's feature the third best guest appearance on the album, lauding how out of the three artists, he sounds the most comfortable over the song's "abrasive" beat.[7]
