==Critical reception==
The song received generally positive reviews. Zachary Horvath of ''[[HotNewHipHop]]'' wrote "It seems the hate gives Eminem extra juice to unleash on any competitor that tries to step to him, and its why naming this song 'Fuel' is such a W. However, what also makes this track fun is that Eminem is playing the role of the instigator. He is coming for Diddy's neck and does so in a clever manner." He additionally noted the song "combines wit and humor to the nth degree".<ref name="HNHH" /> [[Louder (website)|''Louder'']]'s Merlin Alderslade praised the production, stating it "create[s] a fraught and brooding atmosphere for Eminem to spit his frenetic bars over".<ref name="Louder" /> Jordan Bassett of ''[[NME]]'' commented the song's "Diddy gag should take its place in the pantheon of his greatest disses."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Bassett |first1=Jordan |title=Eminem – ‘The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)’ review: well-crafted songs and empty provocation |url=https://www.nme.com/reviews/album/eminem-the-death-of-slim-shady-coup-de-grace-album-review-3774875 |access-date=28 July 2024 |work=[[NME]] |date=15 July 2024}}</ref> ''HotNewHipHop''<nowiki/>'s Gabriel Bras Nevares considered it the best song from ''The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)'', "thanks to two killer verses from Eminem and JID."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Nevares |first1=Gabriel Bras |title=Eminem "The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)" Album Review |url=https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/824885-eminem-death-of-slim-shady-review-new-album-hip-hop-news |website=HotNewHipHop |access-date=28 July 2024 |date=July 16, 2024}}</ref>
Karan Singh of ''[[HipHopDX]]'' responded negatively to the song for the reason that Eminem "acts on his decades-old urge to make light of rape while literally spelling out how clever he thinks he is".<ref name="HHDX" /> Some critics were more favorable toward JID's performance than that of Eminem; [[Rob Sheffield]] of ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' commented "JID excels on the otherwise flaccid 'Fuel,'"<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Sheffield|first=Rob|url= https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-album-reviews/eminems-the-death-of-slim-shady-coup-de-grace-review-1235060317/|title= Eminem's 'The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace)': Well, He Tried|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|date=July 15, 2024|access-date=July 28, 2024}}</ref> and Dash Lewis of ''[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]'' wrote "Though he deflates 'Fuel' with an overlong, technique-heavy tirade, Em enlists JID, one of his stylistic descendants, for a breathtaking verse."<ref>{{cite web |last=Lewis |first=Dash |title=Eminem: ''The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)'' Album Review |url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/eminem-the-death-of-slim-shady-coup-de-grace/ |website=[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]] |date=July 16, 2024 |access-date=July 28, 2024}}</ref>
