The mixtape recevied mixed reviews from critics. HipHopDX critic Narshima Chintaluri described the record as "simply a glorified beat tape with ad-libs", stating Carti "need[s] to further develop his songwriting in order to maintain this allure alongside his more successful contemporaries". Brian Duricy of PopMatters stated that "over the production, however, you’re not getting particularly much." Duricy also further described the record as "the sonic equivalent of the stereotypical laissez-faire worker who breezes through presentations on sheer personality alone".[7][6]

Pitchfork's Briana Younger was more positive in her assessment of the mixtape, writing that "Playboi Carti feels like a break from life, the soundtrack to a mindless good time. Women, money and all types of drugs are everywhere, but mostly Carti’s just flexing so that his listeners can do the same."[1] The single "Magnolia" was awarded Best New Track by Pitchfork.[8]
