At [[Metacritic]], which assigns a [[standard score|normalized]] rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an [[weighted arithmetic mean|average]] score of 72, based on 14 reviews.<ref name="MC" /> Kyle Anderson of ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' positively compared the album to the late 90's releases by [[Bad Boy Records|Bad Boy]] and said that Big Sean easily outshines all the featured artists on the album.<ref name="autogenerated5"/> At ''[[USA Today]]'', Edna Gunderson called this, an "outstanding second album" that he "occasionally stumbles" in an effort that is a "smart set of slick club thumpers, tear-jerkers and introspective yarns."<ref name=usatoday /> Jon Dolan of ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' commented saying, "The Detroit MC gets over on congeniality and crisp delivery, even when his lyrics are pro forma." He also praised the album's production.<ref name="rollingstone1"/> At ''[[The Oakland Press]]'', [[Gary Graff]] noted that "''Hall of Fame'' is still a solid, confident and diverse set that shows how much he's grown as both an MC and a writer since 'Finally Famous' came out in 2011."<ref name=oaklandpress /> Andrea Aguilar of ''[[HipHopDX]]'' summarized the album stating, "As a whole, the feel-good album's set of eclectic beats doesn't disappoint, but it lacks diversity. Most of Sean's content still teems with predictable material risking leaving listeners disinterested. Random skits also slightly interrupt the flow of the album, but if you're looking for motivational music centered on the money, the cars, the clothes and hoes, this album is sure to get plenty of replays on your iPod and local radio stations alike."<ref name=HipHopDX>{{cite web |last=Aguilar |first=Andrea |url=http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/album-reviews/id.2133/title.big-sean-hall-of-fame |title=Big Sean – Hall Of Fame |work=[[HipHopDX]] |date=August 28, 2013 |accessdate=August 28, 2013 |deadurl=no |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130829014354/http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/album-reviews/id.2133/title.big-sean-hall-of-fame |archivedate=August 29, 2013}}</ref> Evan Rytlewski of ''[[The A.V.

The mood is so consistently upbeat and agreeable that nearly everything works, especially the tracks that pair Sean with a strong singer."<ref name="theavclub"/> Eric Diep of ''[[XXL (magazine)|XXL]]'' commented that, "''Hall Of Fame'' moves along at a steady pace for the most part," but there are instances where the album is less than consistent. Concluding that, "even these minor shortcomings don't supersede the fact that the album is filled with radio-friendly cuts and compelling storytelling."<ref name="xxlmag1"/> David Jeffries of [[AllMusic]] said, while ''Hall of Fame'' provides plenty of vibrant, sexual, exciting moments, the "classic feel" that was intended is "nowhere to be found."<ref name="allmusic1"/> Erin Lowers of ''[[Exclaim!]]'' commented that, "While ''Hall of Fame'' escapes the dreaded sophomore curse, it doesn't do so unscathed. [...] Big Sean may not have solidified his position in the rap hall of fame, but is certainly in the process of paving his way."<ref name="exclaim1"/> David Turner of ''[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]]'' said, "Kanye's ''[[My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy]]'' is an immediate parallel to this album of relationship struggle and soul-searching, and while Sean obviously lacks his mentor's star power or ambition, he shows more heart than he typically gets credit for."<ref name="spin"/> Jesal Padania of RapReviews.com called the individual tracks distinct, big and bold, while the album remains consistent.

K-Dot opened up a space for rap to do that, or at least reminded folks of the sorts of things [[Pete Rock & CL Smooth]] used to do with the art form.
