The album has received generally positive reviews from music critics.[12] Aly Laube of Exclaim! wrote that describes the album as a "rebellion against the established social and stylistic norms" while giving the album a 9/10.[10] Writing for Beats Per Minute's "Hip Hop 2021: Halftime," John Amen wrote, "Backxwash is a talented rapper and gifted lyricist; her work, however, is ultimately textural and instinctively driven, dark ambience that transcends convention and genre."[13]
Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Paul Simpons felt that "While there's unmistakably something macabre and theatrical about her performance, it never seems like she's interested in mere shock value. Her lyrics clearly come from personal experience, and attempt to relay what she's going through, particularly when her life is at its darkest."[8]
