Critical reception

Reviewing Moon Boy for AllMusic, Fred Thomas wrote that "Bleu is at his best when he's matching powers with his collaborators" and "the cloudy ambiance of 'Beautiful Lies' with Kehlani push Moon Boy's already versatile range even further."[3]

Music video

An official music video was released on December 2, 2021. Directed by Jon Primo, it is set in a deserted military camp,[4][5][6] where Yung Bleu camps out with his troop.[4] The clip begins with him walking around the base with his love interest, before they board a UFO[5] and ventures off into a portal.[6] Bleu is transported to an alternate universe, where he is greeted by Kehlani.[4][5] After he spends some time in the new dimension,[5] Kehlani uses her superpowers to transport Bleu back to his base.[4] Bleu is then reunited with his partner.[4][5][6] The clip stars actress Parker McKenna Posey.[6]
