James Wilt of "Exclaim!" said, "Every song justifies its spot: the Allen Ritter-produced "Drippin'" serves as a standout, exhibiting a staccato delivery and manic yelling, both of which are new to his already vast sonic vocabulary." Adam Kivel of "Consequence of Sound" said, "This record feels a little too brief, especially trailing off at the end. But if the chief complaint about a Young Thug record is that he's too focused, it shows he's honing in on that perfect blend that will launch him into the stratosphere."
