Critical reception

RapReviews' Steve Juon called the album "witty and satirical" and said that "while Sims is clearly inclined to march to the beat of his own drum, he’s not in completely inaccessible arthouse territory."[3] Scene Point Blank called More Than Ever "a record that pushes expectation beyond the hard-hitting beats and spitfire lyricism with echo-y and dreamlike tracks interjected through the more traditional beat-heavy songs."
