Chase McMullen of Beats Per Minute wrote: "As both a display of production mastery, and as a hip hop effort, Quakers is one of the most consistently refreshing albums in recent memory." [4] Heather Phares of AllMusic commented that "since there's so much talent involved and the tracks are so short (Estee Nack's meditative 'Lost and Found' is the longest at just over four minutes), the bright spots come at listeners thick and fast." [3] She added, "Quakers is the kind of album where favorite tracks change from listen to listen, and a testament to hip-hop's enduring power." [3]
