Alphonse Pierre, writing for Pitchfork, describes Real Boston Richey's music style in the following manner: "That out of town influence doesn’t drown out the idiosyncrasies of a Sunshine State MC though; Richey’s regional drawl makes every word feel slurred and he has a natural melody even though he's not singing. Lyrically, he has a lot of the same problems as the drill-leaning scene across the way in Jacksonville, where nothing ever seems to stick out."[4]
