Jake Paine of HipHopDX gave the album a 3.0 out of 5, writing: "Regardless of seasoned or newcomer production personnel, Deuces Wild bares a consistency that feels as if one musical mind made it." Ben Westhoff of Pitchfork gave the album an 8.0 out of 10, commenting that "what's most impressive about the work is that it succeeds without succumbing to the trends of hipster rap, emo rap, or radio rap."
