Critical reception[edit]
Consequence of Sound's Chris Coplan gave the mixtape three out of five stars and found it 'light on the punch lines, heavy on the swag, and an overall mighty declaration of newfound skill and confidence despite a few missteps' such as 'lazy sing-talking'.[5] Corban Goble of Stereogum complimented the guest rappers and observed 'a surprising amount of quality and variety for a free mixtape.'[6] Giving it a score of 8.3 out of 10, Adam Vitcavage of Paste praised Gambino's wordplay and cited the mixtape as 'easily his most ambitious and controversial [release] yet.'[7] Although he felt it lacks the 'sincerity and unique nature of Camp', Jason Gardner of AbsolutePunk rated the mixtape a 78% and wrote that 'the rough and tumble beats and much less punchline-glazed lyricism make this mixtape a worthwhile experience both for creator and listener.'[8]
