"mannibalector" received generally positive reviews from music critics. in a positive review allmusic's david jeffries writes "hung is a craftsman, kicking off this horror movie on wax with a tv news report that gives up the back-story and then goes full hollywood, joining skits, numerous sound effects, and a relentless, blockbuster pace, all making this an album worth avoiding if it's dark." roman cooper of "hiphopdx" noted "make no mistake, blh’s emceeing arsenal is still quite impressive. whether it’s the rapid-fire flows over the frenetic and disturbing strings of “krocadil” or steady delivery over extremely minimalist production on “mdk,” lynch is unquestionably adept at his craft."
