RhythmerStar full.svgStar full.svgStar full.svgStar half.svgStar empty.svg

Clarissa Brooks of Pitchfork wrote that You Still Here, Ho? is "her most adventurous form yet." [8] Hwang Duha of Rhythmer commented that "the music itself is not special", but Flo Milli "balances this out with completeness and unique concept." [1] Writing for The Line of Best Fit, John Amen gave the album 7/10 and commented, "You Still Here, Ho? runs the fundamentals of hip-hop – aggression, wit, violent diarism, and primitivistic sounds – through a contemporary filter largely defined by social media and selfie culture." [9]
