Critical reception
"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". 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".
Music video
On March 30, 2016, a 15-second teaser of the music video was released. The video premiered on MTV on April 1, 2016, and was uploaded on Lanez's VEVO channel on the same day.
