Jason Lymangrover of AllMusic gave the album 3 stars out of 5, saying, "futuristic beats by Black Milk, Eligh, Kenny Segal, and Exile provide an updated setting for the dexterous wordplay."[5] Luke Gibson of HipHopDX said, "The end result of The Promise sees a legendary group that can still deliver inspired music."[7] Scott Thill of Wired described it as "a healthy reminder of what hip-hop can do when its rhyme machines boast big brains as well as balls."[11]
