Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating New Release Today [2] Rapzilla [3]
Awarding the album three and a half stars from New Release Today, Kevin McNeese states, "Blind Elephant is an album that fans have waited a long time for. While lyrically he didn't disappoint, I definitely think the mixing and production could have been better."[2] Richard Spadine, giving the album three stars at Rapzilla, writes, "Contrary to the hype, Blind Elephant is simply a good album. Not a magnum opus, but an impressive, if uneven effort from an artist still in the process of defining himself."[3]
