Critical reception
In a positive review, Nick Henderson of Tiny Mix Tapes wrote that "Lil Boat is the kind of music that does not need to make a case for its own value, only judged on the intangible, absurdist metrics of its self-contained universe."[3] In a negative review, Sheldon Pearce from Pitchfork gave it a rating of 4.8 out of 10, citing that the mixtape "makes a grating mess of varying influences."[4]
