In a review for Pitchfork, Nate Patrin wrote: "100% Publishing bristles with the reflexive jabs and on-the-spot opinions that tend to come during long-distance sparring sessions with the nebulous flogging masses. Wiley wasn't always the slickest-flowing rapper, but if there's one part of his game that's really stepped up, it's his relationship with his own beats." Alex Macpherson of The Guardian noted the albums "beats are sparse, functional and judiciously melodic in ways that will be recognisable to fans of his original eski sound. More importantly, this strategy puts Wiley's voice and personality front and centre." At Clash, Raj Chaudhari noted "the album is a fine document of why Wiley was, is, and will continue to be such a cornerstone of the grime scene."
