The album received general positive ratings. Matthew Ritchie of Pitchfork said: "Mach has cemented himself as a shapeshifter, contorting his voice to rap, sing, and glide over the grainy surface of his beats. And while #RICHAXXHAITIAN is a quintessential Mach-Hommy project".[9] Gabriel Bras Nevares of HotNewHipHop said: "This new album builds off of the struggle and perseverance of previous installments to craft a triumphant and awe-inspiring experience".[10]
