Ron Johnson of AllHipHop gave the mixtape seven and a half stars out of ten, saying "Fabâs favorite hook supplier, Lil Mo, is surely missed on songs like âLife Is So Excitingâ and âOnly Life I knowâ, which could be much better without Loso on hook duty. Perhaps Fab should put in an ad for a full-time singer for tracks like these, but in the meantime, features like Pusha Tâs signature flow of balling out control on âLife Is So Excitingâ is sure to hold fans over. If you were expecting Fab to really bare his soul on Soul Tape 2, you have to settle for a peek because Loso is just too laid back for that. He might not layout a scenario that can make you feel as though he might have been through the same challenges as you, but that doesnât mean his slick schemes and sneaky punchlines canât give you as much goosebumps and screw-faces as any Soul singer could. NICE!."[10]
