Critical reception

Tim Sentz of Beats Per Minute commented that "It's a fine record to put on in the background, but a slog to try to focus on, as so much of it blends together with hardly anything to standout in the end." James Butterworth of The Quietus called the album "a mixed affair, with moments of excellence interspersed with filler over a sprawling twenty-two tracks." Stephen Kearse of Pitchfork stated, "Though they don't bridge new worlds or sounds here, they confirm the implicit connections between their formative muses, threading the outré time signatures of J Dilla and Madlib, the spiritualism of Dungeon Family, and the flair of Dipset into a cozy tapestry." Phillip Mlynar of Bandcamp Daily stated, "Over this relaxed and intoxicating backdrop, the two MCs' hazy voices are recorded and mixed so that they seep into the production." He added, "The approach gives FlySiifus an intimate feel, making it feel like you're listening in on a series of late-night phone conversations between the two rappers."
