Critical reception

Professional ratings

Review scores
Source	Rating
AllMusic	[5]
Pitchfork	6.7/10[3]

In his Washington Post piece on Yeat, Chris Richards noted that Yeat "visits nearly every corner of his lungs, throat, mouth and sinuses on 'Turban'", and that "his approach still feels avant and inventive. Rhyming in alien purrs and phantasmal coos, it's as if he's melting into his beats".[6]

Pitchfork reviewer Alphonse Pierre claims that "Yeat's inspiration feels like it refreshingly goes beyond Whole Lotta Red" while giving the album a 6.7/10.[3] Tivo Staff from AllMusic stated that "It's funny, weird, and infectious, like the best of Up 2 Më. Uncommon production choices and Yeat's laid-back but surprisingly off-center personality make these tracks a breath of fresh air in a commercial rap landscape where artists and songs can sometimes feel interchangeable ".[5]

Genius ranked "Gët Busy" 18th on their "Genius "Community's 50 Best Songs Of 2021" list.[7] The song was also ranked 81st on Pitchfork's "100 Best Songs of 2021" list and included on the publication's "38 Best Rap Songs of 2021" list.[8][9]

Commercial performance

Up 2 Më charted at No. 183 on the Billboard 200 four months after it was released, making it Yeat’s first album to reach the chart.[10]
