The album received negative reviews from music critics. Scott Glaysher of HipHopDX said that "Kyoto proves that Tyga should stick to rapping" and that "His fearlessness is commended but on the scale of experiment albums, Kyoto is much closer in quality to Lil Wayne’s forgettable Rebirth album than to Kanye’s striking 808s & Heartbreak".[7] Crack's writer Chris Kelly criticized Tyga's vocal performance and his songwriting reviewing the album, saying that "For all his talk of “singing”, Tyga sometimes struggles to sustain the melodies, sounding unsure himself about whether or not this was a good idea. Never particularly skilled as a lyricist, here he provides plenty of cringe-worthy moments".[8] Torii MacAdams of Pitchfork said that the album is a "quasi-introspective R&B album" and "suffers from an almost total lack of imagination".[9]
