Survivor's Guilt: The Mixtape received critical acclaim from contemporary music critics upon its release. Emma Swann of DIY praised the album, giving it a full five stars out of five, saying calling the mixtape "a head-rush of a collection in the best possible way" and praising the collaborating between La'ron and Barker saying "whoever paired this duo up deserves a medal". [1] Swann further praised Barker's drumming saying "it’s not just that the blink-182 drummer is using his not inconsiderable platform to direct rock's gaze towards the newcomer: his signature pummelling here creates the kind of pace and challenge that keeps both Kenny - and the listener - on their toes to exhilarating effect". [1]

Ben Jolley, writing for the New Musical Express gave the mixtape a four-star rating, summarizing the album with tracks that "instantly erupt into massive arena-filling singalong anthems". And that several songs "could pass as classics from the not-so-forgotten era". [2] In a staff review for Sputnikmusic, the review was slightly more mixed saying that it's "promising concept, the potential for him to find his own unique style even moreso. As long as he's this entertaining, though, the genre could do far worse in finding a new face than this beguiling, shape-shifting newcomer". [3]
