Dylan Kilby of MusicOMH gave the album 4 stars out of 5, describing it as "a triumphant album by an extraordinary artist and woman, whose girl-empowering lyricism and social consciousness puts her at the top of the underground and alternative hip-hop community." Tom Fenwick of Drowned in Sound said, "much of the album's success has to be shared with producers Lazerbeak (Doomtree) and Ryan Olsen (Gayngs/Marijuana DeathSquads) who've managed to craft a selection of music that sit seamlessly alongside Lizzo's hyperactivity."
It ranked at number 1 on Star Tribune's Twin Cities Critics Tally 2013 list.
