Tribalistas received mixed to negative reviews from critics, with many considering it inferior to the trio's 2002 debut and some even labeling it as "unnecessary".

Writing for Zero Hora , Alexandre Lucchese expressed disbelief that the album would repeat the commercial success of its predecessor, but stated it shouldn't be a failure, either. He pointed the political and non-partisan tone as evidence of the band's maturing, called the title "lazy" and praised the track "Um Só", although he considered it a repetition of "Tribalistas", from the first album. He concluded his analysis by saying that "the album hardly creates estrangement or disgust, although it is also little likely to generate great empathy – and euphoria would be asking too much". [11]

Marco Aurélio Canônico was more critical of the album, calling it "less creative, less inspired, less necessary". He said the similar sound of both albums could be seen both as "identity" and as "sign of creative fatigue". On the other hand, he considered that the songs authored by the three members alone work better than the partnerships. He concluded his text by stating that "in the cynical and bellicose times that lie ahead, Tribalistas look out of place with their peace and love spirit –perhaps precisely because of this they are necessary. But their new album show a trio that is not only smaller than the sum of its isolated parts, but than what it once was". [12]

In his blog at R7, Helder Maldonado said the album "drags on on songs with little inspired arrangements and ideologically engaged lyrics". For him, the album fails to repeat the "elegance" of their debut and is "almost hermetic and overly focused on introspection". Besides that, he considered that the guest performances of other musicians decharacterized the project. Finally, he said that "maybe Tribalistas really wanted to innovate and release something completely different from the album that consecrated them. And they did it. And changing is always healthy. The problem is that it's not always for the better." [13]

Writing for O Globo , Bernardo Araujo considered that the album comes "without a crisis, but without great moments, either" and that "big fans of the trio will, once more, enjoy it a lot, but Tribalistas, once more, appear to be having more fun than the public". Speaking specifically about the opening track "Diáspora", he considered it "bad luck" that the song was released on the same day as "As Caravanas", by Chico Buarque (a song that deals with the same theme). [15]

At Hoje em Dia, Lucas Buzatti stated that the album "stumble upon the attempt of reproducing the feat [of their debut] with old formulas and repetitive themes". He praised the tracks "Diáspora", "Fora da Memória" and "Trabalivre", but criticized "Um Só", "Aliança", "Baião do Mundo" and "Ânima", writing mixed comments about "Feliz e Saudável", "Lutar e Vencer" and "Os Peixinhos". He ended his text by saying that "Tribalistas gets stuck at the more of the same. If on one hand the trio establishes its signature sound, on the other hand they expose a frustrating predictability for people waiting for something new." [16]

Adriana Del Ré, from O Estado de S. Paulo , wrote a positive review about the album. She said that the return preserving "the tribalistic DNA" was a "relief" and that reuniting without doing so wouldn't make sense. On the other hand, she noted a change in the lyrics, which went from "a certain innocence" on the 2002 album to "a more politicized attitude" on the 2017 release. [14]
