 In a review for "Pitchfork", Stephen Kearse characterized JPEGMafia as "bubbly and inventive", an imagineer, a provocateur, an "impish writer" and an "athletic vocalist" with a "fiery, fascinating brain".Nick Roseblade of "Clash" opined that the album's lyrics "[feel] very stream of consciousness full of political commentary, the concerns of living in American 2019, whilst being engaging, humorous, and informative", and that the key to the album is its "juxtaposition of sounds, and textures".For "The Line of Best Fit", Sam Higgins wrote that the album is "so questionable, unique and conflicted in its elements, that on first glance, it's uninviting and dissonant", but with an "undeniable quality" upon more concentrated listens.
