Reviewing The Kanan Tape for HipHopDX, Aaron McKrell praised the "fairly fantastic guest appearances"—including from Post Malone and Boosie Badazz—as well as the "top-notch" production, despite feeling that the best production was wasted. McKrell also criticized the mixtape's repetitiveness in spite of its short length, concluding: "By the time the closer, 'On Everything', rolls around, we've heard it all before and then some." In her review for RapReviews, Milli described The Kanan Tape as 50 Cent's "most cohesive body of work in a very long time".Charts
