Pat Levy of Consequence of Sound gave the album a grade of B, saying, "There are lyrics on this album that would make Prince or R. Kelly blush, but just moments later, there are lyrics that would make Leonard Cohen shed a tear." Zoe Camp of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.3 out of 10, saying, "the rapper constructs his boldest collection yet, grounded in improved production and his characteristic schoolboy wit." Nathan Stevens of PopMatters gave the album 6 stars out of 10 and commented that "It wouldn't be surprising if this becomes a crossover hit."
