  Alex Macpherson of The Guardian gave the album 2 stars out of 5, saying: "There are isolated moments of beauty - the spare piano loop of 'Ho-Boys', though nothing new, is evocative and effective - but little sticks in the mind or stimulates the emotions." Dan Raper of PopMatters gave the album 6 stars out of 10, saying, "Situation is a cool, collected set of songs from the veteran Canadian rapper, but you shouldn't be expecting anything revolutionary—at least, not from the music."
