AllMusic gave the mixtape 1.5 out of 5 stars and criticized that "The resulting project isn't devoid of quality, but it is devoid of feeling. A sharper pen game and some personal tales might give the project some much-needed personality, but for now, it does little to differentiate Lone." He also picked "Turnin Up" ("A camera-flash masterwork of bouncing synths") and the airy "Crystal Castles" the best tracks of the mixtape. ^[5]

Ian Hassan from SheeshMedia stated: "This entire album is hypnotizing, and I can't wait to hear it at shows. This is one of the more energetic projects to release this year, and I can't wait to see how he continues to innovate his music to new levels." ^[6]

Anthony Fantano of TheNeedleDrop gave the mixtape a harshly negative review, criticizing Lonely's heavy reliance on Auto-Tune and describing his vocal delivery as "boring" and lacking distinctiveness. Fantano argued that the project fails to offer any "energetic, catchy, or sticky" moments, calling its overall tone "middle of the road" and "rancid." He singled out the track "Bergdorf" as having one of the "worst flows or energies on a mellow trap song," and further criticized the repetitiveness and weak lyricism found on songs such as "NOSTYLIST." Following his criticism, Fantano gave the album a one out of ten, making it one of the worst ratings that he's given out to any project. ^[7]
