Robin Murray of Clashwrote that "there's no need to know the full context to enjoy Cabin In The Sky",further stating,"As one of the most straight-forwardly enjoyable hip-hop albums 2025 has offered us,you’d be hard-pushed to top it for entertainment."[10]NME's Fred Garratt-Stanley wrote,"While De La Soul's social commentary is incisive,at its core this is an album about David Jolicoeur and the space he's left behind. In examining the impact he had on their personal and creative lives,the group's surviving members highlight the late rapper's pivotal role in US hip-hop history,and exemplify why they're continually hailed as some of the movement's most treasured voices."[13]
The Guardian's Shaad D'Souza felt that the album can "feel like a slog,with the end lacking the sprightliness of the album's first half".[11]
