We Don't Trust You currently has a score of 65 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on six critics' reviews,indicating "generally positive" reception.
Writing for Clash ,Robin Murray noted that the album "never moves in a straight line" and that it "epitomises just why Future and Metro Boomin work together so seamlessly". Concluding his review,Murray wrote that "at times uneven,the project stands as testament to the unique bond between these two A-list rap talents". [17] Jesse Fuller,an independent musical critic,has praised the album for its dark production,Future's effortless flow on the beats,and its lyrical wizardry. HipHopDX 's Scott Glaysher describes the album as a "modern rap gospel" and that the project "carries a different tone" from their past collaborations. However,Glaysher states that the album doesn't "live up to its full potential" due to the loss of interest in its final third. Concluding the review,he stated that the album "should have been shorter" despite the duo "consistently [delivering] high-quality tracks". [18] Writing for Slant Magazine ,Charles Lyons-Bart gave the album a poor review. He criticizes Future's performance,noting that "Metro’s work is sometimes enough to carry a track" and that his delivery is often "clipped". Concluding his review,he writes that the album presents the downfall of Future,noting that he's "faded and almost lifeless" throughout the project. [19]
Rolling Stone 's Mosi Reeves wrote that Metro Boomin "has embraced maximalist,cinematic gestures". All in all,the album is described as "solid but nothing special". [20] Writing for Variety ,A.D. Amorosi writes that the album "doesn’t feel like a competition" despite "their signature strengths" being present on the album. Concluding his review,Amorosi notes that "Metro makes more of the duo’s first volume than Future does". [21] HotNewHipHop 's Gabrial Bras Nevares rated the album as "HOTTTTT",writing that the project "champions above all else". He notes that despite the album not being a "perfect attempt",it displays "focus,new approaches,intent-driven artistry" and several "bangers". Concluding his review,he noted that the project could have been better,however,the sequel "will not fall victim to complacency". [22]
In the United States,We Don't Trust You debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 251,000 album-equivalent units,which included 324.31 million on-demand streams and 4,500 pure album sales.
