Anupa Mistry of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.5 out of 10, calling it "another reminder of how humor can bring the audience closer and form an emotional connection."[7] She compared the album to Paul Beatty's 2015 novel The Sellout, saying, "It's as bright as Beatty's novel is dark, but they're both charmingly demented, sharp-witted, and necessary social critiques."[7]
