aja romano of "vox" called the album eminem's best in years, citing a return to the rapper's old school sound after deviating with "revival". ed power of "the daily telegraph" also compared this album to "revival", calling "kamikaze" a "high-kicking, low-punching riposte", indicating it is a better release. similarly, a. d. amorosi of "variety" sees the album as similar to eminem's earlier work, stating, "[his] voice hasn't sounded quite so cranky, silly, impassioned or enraged since his early days" and for "xxl", scott glaysher calls the album a revisit of the slim shady persona. for "consequence of sound", dedrick hendrix gave the album a b−, summing up, "as a whole, the album may not be impeccable, but it’s the best he's released since 2010." m. oliver of "popmatters" summed up his review, ""kamikaze" is slim shady at his midlife best; slightly less deviant, not quite as funny—but revived, nonetheless" and gave the album seven out of 10. kitty empire wrote for "the observer" that eminem is in "full rabid underdog mode" at a time when hip hop mcs are more relaxed, giving the album three out of five stars. at "hiphopdx", trent clark gave the album a 3.9 out of five, contrasting the work with "revival" and denying this is a return to form, summing up, "after being faced with nothing to prove as the highest-selling rapper of all-time, eminem’s found another challenge in perfecting the new style he’s put on display". writing for "vice", robert christgau regarded the album as being "about hip-hop, his truest passion and sole area of undeniable expertise, rather than the larger emotional and political themes of what he conceived as a groundbreaking statement of principle [with "revival"]". in "the atlantic", spencer kornhaber addresses both comparisons with "revival" and current hip hop stars on "kamikaze" stating, "really, though, eminem is waging a war over aesthetics, and "kamikaze" is a better listen than "revival" because its concision confirms eminem's value as an entertainer... certainly, it's refreshing that in a genre especially obsessed with statements of dominance, eminem doesn't disguise his feelings of irrelevance. he does, however, try to claim his influence." he added that the album shows that "eminem is great at what he does."
