  John Bush of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying, "the album has so many incredible ideas and catchy riffs that it trumps entire careers by some rappers out there." He added, "Temporary Forever introduces one of the most imaginative talents to ever grace the rap world."
  
  In 2008, Vibe included it on the "24 Lost Rap Classics" list. Sean Fennessey wrote, "his adenoidal flow, a breathless bundle of consonants and exclamation points, will challenge anyone looking to tune the MC out."
  
  In 2015, HipHopDX included it on the "30 Best Underground Hip Hop Albums Since 2000" list.
