Kieran Press-Reynolds of Pitchfork described Unmusique as an "infectious juggernaut of blown-out sounds". Press-Reynolds compared "Cara Mia" to the music of Ecco2k, also describing the song as sounding like "a computer sputtering as if it had been infected by malware". He found "Ultraviolet" to be a highlight on the mixtape, saying the song "smacks like a supersize Sprite's worth of sucrose". He also highlighted Bedroque "locking into the beat like it's a piece of armor" on "2010 Justin Bieber", as well as "pleas and frustrations toward a relationship gone awry" on "Cat's Eye". Press-Reynolds was however slightly critical towards the mixtape's consistency, and felt that some songs, such as "Smackdown", could have been shelved. ^[1]

The Fader found Unmusique to be a "wholesale deconstruction". They highlighted "glittery rage" on "2010 Justin Bieber" and "brooding, pitched-down luxury" on "Smackdown". They also described "Ouija" as being "more cyberpunk industrial that straight post-rage". Describing the mixtape overall, they stated that "what Bedroque has built contains new dimensions that weren't present before". ^[2]

Anthony Fantano of The Needle Drop gave the album a decent amount of praise, claiming that the album is something different compared to what rappers usually go for when releasing albums. He writes how if fans listens to rappers such as Playboi Carti, and Lil Uzi Vert, then they will be used to the "splashy overwhelming production, certain vocal inflections and flows that Lucy engages in when rapping." The album sees Bedroque blend influences from the world of digicore, of pop, of EDM, electro, a little industrial, too. Fantano wrote how the album seems "inconsistent" by Bedroque, writing how "Lucy delivers way more bangers and bops than flops on their debut mixtape." Fantano also rated the album a "light seven out of ten", giving the album its respect and flowers, despite its inconsistency. ^[4]
