At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 based on reviews from mainstream critics, Conflict of Interest received a score of 95 out of 100, based on reviews from 7 critics.[2] In a five-star review, Kyann-Sian Williams of NME concluded Conflict of Interest is Ghetts' "most earnest record to date", adding that "The rapper's third studio record and first on a major label, showcasing his growth over nearly two decades in the game, proves lyricism is in rude health."[7] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian praised the album's production, stating: "The arrangements are beautifully done, subtle rather than showy, a key factor in establishing the album's overwhelming mood." Petridis concluded that "Conflict of Interest feels like the work of an artist who's in it for the long haul rather than short-term rewards."[5]
