Keith Nelson Jr. of HipHopDX praised the album, stating: "produced entirely by Erick "The Architect" Elliott, the 12-song mind trip is hodgepodge of haunting strings, ambient sounds fit for a sci-fi film and hard-hitting drums". [6] AllMusic's David Jeffries resumed: "an excellent debut that flows perfectly and offers something new with every return". [3] Hugh Leask of Clash found "the impressive chemistry the trio displayed on their earlier work continues here". [4] Brooklyn Russell of Tiny Mix Tapes wrote: "a journey into their liberated, tie-dyed consciousness and their best project to date". [9] Chris Gibbons of XXL called the album "a perfect first step in a career that is still blooming". [10] Kathy Iandoli of Pitchfork wrote: "3001: A Laced Odyssey does an adequate job of reminding us all of Flatbush Zombies' smart, sharp lyrics. What they lack in hit-single potential, they make up for in talent, but without a calling-card song it's hard to know what their next move is". [7] Alejandra Ramirez of Consequence concluded: "their immaturity and brusqueness is flavored with a new level of social consciousness and introspection". [5]
