AllMusic	[3]

AllMusic emphasizes the more polished production compared to the band's previous albums, but feels that the length of the opus results in the presence of a few filler tracks, making the whole uneven. Despite these imperfections, AllMusic considers When the Smoke Clears to be "a noteworthy addition to Three 6 Mafia's deep canon". ^[3]
