Jason Crock of Pitchfork Media gave RoadKillOvercoat a 6.9 out of 10 and said, "Nobody and Boom Bip provide beats that draw from a wider range of styles and flirt with an alien, psychedelic edge, giving Busdriver enough room to be as weird as he wants to be."[4]
Alan Ranta of Tiny Mix Tapes gave the album 4 stars out of 5, noting that "[Busdriver's] choruses are instantly memorable and his word-soup lyricism easily places him in the upper echelon of intelligent emcees, somewhere between MF Doom and Dose One."[7]
