Rosebudd's Revenge achieved widespread praise from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 83 based on 6 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[6]
Marciano's writing on the album received particular commendation. Paul A. Thompson of Pitchfork rated the album an 8.0/10, describing it as "endlessly, almost impossibly entertaining" and wrote that Marciano "remains one of rap's most brilliant stylists, the kind of artist who can make you wear out your rewind button despite being old enough to remember when you could wear out a rewind button".[8] Samuel Diamond of Tiny Mix Tapes remarked that it "packs a novel's worth of imagery, mood, characterization, conflict and theme into practically every line".[9] Hugh Leask rated the album a 4.2/5, saying "Rosebudd's Revenge's quiet-storm menace makes for a surreptitiously potent punch of heavyweight Hip Hop".[7] Grant Jones of RapReviews rated the album a 7/10, saying "[Marciano's] vocals lack the razor sharp potency he had on earlier projects. The over-the-top hyper-lyrical Roc Marciano is here and well, but his AR-15 isn’t as finely aimed".[10]
