"LA Confidential" received positive reviews from music critics. Rap-Up wrote, "the Toronto singer-rapper keeps it real with his girl on the rock-edged jam, singing about remaining faithful in a relationship".[1] Paul Thompson of XXL opined that the song "invokes a town with an entirely different cache" and "is exactly the kind of slinking cut that Lanez would hope to leverage into mainstream success in 2016".[2]
On March 30, 2016, a 15-second teaser of the music video was released.[3] The video premiered on MTV on April 1, 2016,[3] and was uploaded on Lanez's VEVO channel on the same day.[4]
