Blackout received generally mixed reviews from music critics. AllMusic commented that the song "Fareal", is the "only track that exceeds three minutes". [7] The critic gave the mixtape a 2 out of 5 stars, stating that Money Man "makes his point and jets out, but nearly all of the songs sound identical, and his lyrics about money, sex, and drugs say nothing new". [7] And the critic gave a negative review stating that the project was "boring, monotonus, and soulless". [7]

Reviewing the mixtape from HotNewHipHop , Aron A. praised the project stating, "it's another excellent series of records from Money Man, who continues to show that he's one of consistent rappers out now". [4] He also commented, "he holds down the project largely on his own. However, he does bring through some of his frequent collaborators". [4]
