Rolling Stone noted Joey Badass for being a "charismatic hero" and offered criticism towards the album's direction, noting "At times, 2000 strains under its ambition. It's unclear whether Bada$$ wants to build an Important Album or simply release something commensurate with his growing celebrity." [12] Pitchfork gave a positive review of 2000, praising the album's production. "The wide-ranging production often makes it easy to ignore the rough spots. Classy instrumental interpolations and crossover beats. It's a testament to Joey’s growing ear that he sounds good on all of them." However, Pitchfork also called 2000 "underwhelming" in comparison to the buildup the album had since the release of 1999 in 2012. [11]
