XXL rated the album as 'L' and praised it as "a project that confirms its creator's arrival and his place as one of the leading men in the SoundCloud rap scene". It evaluated Lil Pump as a "capable, albeit repetitive rhymer that compensates for what he lacks in terms of depth, structure and variety with unbridled passion, catchy refrains and an ear for enticing production".[1]

Evan Rytlewski of Pitchfork gave the album 6.9/10, writing that Lil Pump sounded "completely, endearingly stoked" all the way through the record and calling every track "loud, hyper, and catchy".[14]
