Critical reception Pitchfork assigns 6.7/10 and says: "Across a mostly fun, guest-filled 22 minutes, the young New York rapper does what needs to be done and puts on for his city". It also explains how the name of the EP has nothing to do with the COVID-19 pandemic, but with the murder problems caused in New York. However he adds that the album created in too short a time and that 22 minutes are not enough to give a completely positive review.
