David Jeffries of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, noting "a laid-back, warm, Andre 3000-styled flow, some golden age swagger, plus a never-ending supply of witty lyrics" as the appeal of the album. Nick De Molina of XXL called it "a fine example of how to make a smart, cohesive album without a clear-cut narrative to guide the listener along".
