Andy Kellman of AllMusic gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, calling it "Muldrow's most focused, funkiest, and (somewhat ironically) personal release to date." [6] Matt Bauer of Exclaim! said, "Seeds strikes the perfect balance, as Madlib's thickly layered funk and soul samples and cabinet rocking beats pair with Muldrow's gloriously off-kilter vocals and free-form song structures to make this her most satisfying release to date." [8]
AllMusic included it on the "Favorite R&B Albums of 2012" list. [12] Exclaim! placed it at number 31 on the "Top 50 Albums of the Year" list. [13] Rhapsody placed it at number 7 on the "Top 20 R&B Albums of 2012" list. [14]
