Renegotiations: The Remixes received generally favorable reviews from music critics. John Bush from AllMusic praised the EP: "If these [remixes] had appeared on Monkey Business , the album would have been (setting aside "My Humps" and "Don't Phunk with My Heart") one of the best rap records of the year. Perhaps it's better this way, with the pop productions sequestered on Monkey Business and this tight EP the perfect choice for hip-hop fans." [1] J-23 from HipHopDX was also positive towards the EP but was critical of some tracks due to their original versions: "Despite not being able to overcome shortcomings that come via Monkey Business, this EP is dope in places and is at least very respectable in its efforts." [2] Adrian Ruhi from Okayplayer commended the EP, claiming it served as "a statement that they still have their hip-hop sensibilities, despite the fact that some of the originally poppy tracks sound a bit awkward when remixed by old school producers."
