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]
In the United States on November 12, 2022, Blackout debuted at number 168 on the US Billboard 200 chart (Money Man's seventh entry on the chart overall) and opened at number 26 on the US Independent Albums chart in its first week of release. [5]
