Reviewing The Kanan Tape for HipHopDX , Aaron McKrell praised the "fairly fantastic guest appearances"—including from Post Malone and Boosie Badazz—as well as the "top-notch" production, despite feeling that the best production was wasted. McKrell also criticized the mixtape's repetitiveness in spite of its short length, concluding: "By the time the closer, 'On Everything', rolls around, we've heard it all before and then some." [3] In her review for RapReviews, Milli described The Kanan Tape as 50 Cent's "most cohesive body of work in a very long time". [4]
