Critical reception

The album has received positive attention from music critics. One publisher from Exclaim! gave this album 8 out of 10, saying "Together, these elements elevate Retropolitan past what could've been a nostalgia trip in lesser hands. That shouldn't come as a surprise, however, when the beats come from a studio legend that has remained at the top of his game, and the lyrics come from an aficionado of the old school with one of the moment's freshest flows."[8] Riley Wallace of HipHopDX gave this album 4.4 out of 5, calling it "a sunny walk down memory lane."[9] It also adds "it feels like a modern take. It gives a retrospective context (and sonic second life) to the culture of old New York in an accessible way that doesn’t make anyone feel left out."[9]
