Reviewing for The FADER, David Renshaw wrote, "Kwaku The Traveller" finds Sherif in full grind mode but able to acknowledge the bumps in the road he encounters on his way to making the money in his sights. As he puts it in his distinctive vocals: "Of course I fucked up. Who never fuck up hands in the air, no hands? I was young what you expect from me? It is what it is". Commercial performance
