Keith was met with mostly positive reviews. Paul Simpson of AllMusic writes, "Keith is simply another consistent, enjoyable album from one of rap's true legends". Guy Oddy of The Arts Desk writes, "a lyrical and beat collage that takes in social reportage on the menacing "95 South", anti-materialism on "Word Life" and racism, it also has a good deal of bragging about his prowess on the mic."
