Wesley McLean of Exclaim! wrote that the album "manages to deliver on almost every front. It's an impressive collaborative effort from two of California's brightest stars,yet another solid release in Mozzy's rapidly expanding catalogue and a much-needed return to form for YG following a few subpar releases". [6] Ben Brutocao of HipHopDX wrote:"Mozzy’s strengths are YG’s weaknesses and vice-versa,which is the making of an ideal collaboration. There is an iron-clad authenticity to every note and word on the album:It’s rap that makes you start doing pushups,rap that you’ll most likely hear in the next Fast and Furious movie,and most importantly,rap that you’ll remember for longer than a few weeks". [7] AllMusic's Fred Thomas resumed "although Kommunity Service is short,it still shows versatility by approaching various styles track to track". [5] Paul A. Thompson of Pitchfork wrote:"while Kommunity Service only hints at what a true synthesis of those artists could be,at times the implication is enough". [8]
