Critical reception
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."[3] Sheldon Pearce from Pitchfork gave it a rating of 4.8, citing that the mixtape "makes a grating mess of varying influences."[4]
Commercial performance
Lil Boat were downloaded over 381,000 times on Spinrilla, over 111,000 times on Spotify (along with 581,000 streams), and at least 1,000,000 listen to nearly of all 14 tracks from that mixtape on SoundCloud, including over 47 million plays on his commercially successful single, "One Night".
