Bram Gieben of The Skinny gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, describing it as "a deliciously loose and accessible album from the awkward artistic leaders of the US underground hip-hop scene." He added: "Neither a challenging nor particularly groundbreaking record, it's still enormously satisfying." Jonah Bromwich of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.6 out of 10, saying, "C.A.R. is an excellent, devastating record, a chronicle of the amiable pessimism and occasional nihilism of a rapping Bukowski who can't seem to find a way out of the condition in which he finds himself."

Thomas Quinlan of Exclaim! placed it at number 6 on the "Top 10 Albums of 2012" list.
