Huncho Jack,Jack Huncho was met with generally favorable reviews. At Metacritic,which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications,the album received an average score of 66,based on six reviews. [19]
Brian Josephs of Pitchfork commended the album's exciting production,but criticized the performances of the artists:"But like any Travis Scott album,it's the sterling production that carries the project. The beats are as elegant as they are variegated. In a fatal irony,Huncho Jack's liveliness tends to come from everywhere except Quavo and Travis Scott. The protean energy that buoy their respective works are sadly absent." [25] Aaron McKrell of HipHopDX stated that Huncho Jack,Jack Huncho is "an album that basks in each artists' signature sound to the benefit of its groove and detriment of its creativity" and "further proves the duo's strength is entertainment on cruise control". [23]
Greg Whitt of Consequence said,"There is no palpable effort or discomfort on Huncho Jack,Jack Huncho,resulting in a perfectly fine album that no one will remember next year or maybe even next month". [21] In a mixed review, The Guardian 's Ben Beaumont-Thomas stated:"Their often magnetic signature styles veer close to gimmickry here. ... But the production props them up strongly." [22] In another mixed review,Sputnikmusic's Arcade stated:"A competent collaborative tape that nevertheless proves that Quavo should stick to Migos and Travis to curating his own albums." [27]
Huncho Jack,Jack Huncho debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200 with 90,000 album-equivalent units,of which 17,000 were pure album sales. [28] It is Scott's third album to reach the top 10,and Quavo's first as a solo artist. [28] The album was the duo's first number one on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. [29]
