Critical reception
Reviewing the album for RapReviews, Steve Flash gave it a perfect 10/10, writing that "Whenever comes laden with expectations and cliches (...) Ant is expected to create beautiful music to accompany the words — and he does. Slug is expected to deliver consequential words while also mining the depths of his own personal failings — and he does. (...) The thing about cliches when it comes to Atmosphere is they’re all true."[3]
Writing for Everything Is Noise, Ashley Jacob notes that Atmosphere "succeed in providing yet another emotionally digestible and largely spiritual product that might just put you in the right frame of mind for the day"[4] and Tannen Holt of The Southerner (MN) concurred, saying the album "has rich and dense emotional content."[5]
Sean McPherson of The Current noted that the album offers what is expected of an Atmosphere record: "a handful of spectacular songs, some amazing cameo spots and rock-solid production and lyricism throughout."[6]
