Disrespectful received a score of 82 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on four critics' scores, indicating "universal acclaim".[2] Pitchfork's Drew Millard summarised it as "full of soulful house samples and performance-art level idiocy" and a mixtape that "sounds like the rap equivalent of a cartoon tornado, which is what makes it hard to dismiss them as a novelty act".[6] Hannah Broughton of The Line of Best Fit wrote that the mixtape "never seems to dip below floor filler level, and although it's unmistakably reminiscent of the '90s/00s hardcore and garage classics, it's the Bad Boy Chiller Crew persona that makes the record come into its own".[3]
Reviewing the album for The Observer, Damien Morris felt that the singles and new tracks "add up to an excellent, if exhausting, mixtape. Sensibly, songs confine themselves to three minutes or less, and there's a wild joy to their commitment to entertainment".[5] Sophie Williams of NME found the group to be "typically unfiltered and proudly, performatively rowdy" on the mixtape, which she opined "faces an impossible task of keeping up the pace over a 19-track hike. It's clear that the Crew aren't in danger of running out of ideas, yet could do with a little quality control".[4]
