- Aug 14, 2016 He’s just a really musical individual, the way he flows on songs is almost singing. He uses a lot of voice mods as well, so that may have something to do with it, but he combines musicality with good lyrics in whatever his creative process entails.

Review scores | |

Source | Rating |
Pitchfork | 4.8/10[6] |
Tiny Mix Tapes | 4/5[7] |
In a 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 metrics of its self-contained universe.'[7] Sheldon Pearce from Pitchfork was more critical and found that the mixtape 'makes a grating mess of varying influences.'[6]
Complex ranked the mixtape at number 31 on its 'Best Albums of 2016' list.[8] Critic Edwin Ortiz wrote that Lil Yachty 'carved out his own lane with his debut mixtape' and praised the project for 'showcasing his bubble-gum trap approach to hip-hop and his delightfully weird overall individuality.'[8]Uproxx 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 of adolescence with the same wide-eyed selfishness and wonder of any teenager in America.'[9]
