==Critical reception==
''Weekend at Burnie's'' was met with "generally favorable" reviews from critics. At [[Metacritic]], which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an [[weighted arithmetic mean|average]] score of 77 based on 12 reviews.<ref name="MC"/> Aggregate website AnyDecentMusic? gave the release a 7.2 out of 10 based on a critical consensus of 5 reviews.<ref name="ADM"/>

In a review for [[AllMusic]], critic reviewer David Jeffries said: Currensy's ''Weekend at Burnie's'' EP and/or mixtape is a worthwhile distraction, offering fans of his Pilot Talk efforts a chance to hear the rapper in a different setting. Here, the setting is hard, minimal, and retro, with producer Monsta Beatz bringing the ‘80s flavor on all tracks."<ref name="AM"/> Andres Tardio of ''[[HipHopDX]]'' gave the release a 3 out of 5, explaining: "There's an inconsistency on ''Weekend at Burnie's'' that keeps it from being fully successful. At some points, Curren$y shows why he was given the Spitta moniker, but other times, he shows how limited his flow and subject matter can be, slowly pushing through tracks with no real focus."<ref name="HHDX"/> At ''[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]'', Tom Breihan wrote: "''Weekend at Burnie's'' is remarkably warm and approachable, and it brings Curren$y closer to the sound of current radio-rap than he's been in a while."<ref name="Pitchfork"/>
