When he does show up-standouts include the hulking G-funk mutation “Hcapd” and the grungy, bass-addled “P”-both his beats and raps thrill: All of the twisted jokes, tough introspection, and rabble-rousing that fans have come to expect, with none of the unfortunate rape references his detractors rightly called him on.'
Jody Rosen of stated that the album contained a 'fizzy energy that elevates it above its limitations', musing that Odd Future were a lot like 'early Wu-Tang, a thrilling regional act, and a bunch of whip-smart black hipsters whose worldview is grounded in their corner of sun-baked southern.' 's Jeff Dunn felt that every member improved from their past mixtapes, stating that Ocean, Tyler, and Sweatshirt were all impressive, consistently 'spitting dizzying, more original lines than they ever have on mixtapes past.' Dunn wrote that 'after the mixed returns of Goblin, Tyler himself now seems to realize that less is more on his part', who 'wisely tones down the shock-for-shock’s-sake rhymes quite a bit, making his appearances all the more rewarding when they do occur.' Steve Labate of mused that 'while Odd Future’s critics try hard to frame them as such, it’s difficult to accept Tyler and the OF crew as mere shock artists, flippantly tossing off incendiary slurs for attention-the music is too tongue-in-cheek clever, too brainy and self-aware, too anything-goes eccentric.' 's Chris Martins praised the album, stating that 'perhaps most impressive is that Tyler, the Creator takes a noticeable step back so that his friends can enjoy the spotlight.
