positive review, Nick Henderson of ''[[Tiny Mix Tapes]]'' wrote that "''Lil Boat'' is the kind of music that does not need to make a case for its own value, only judged on the intangible, absurdist

ranked the album at number 19 on its "Best Rap Albums of 2016", commenting that "Yachty uses [[Auto-Tune]] to polish and blur his sad, vindictive and romantic instincts, steering through choppy waters
