White Men Are Black Men Too received critical acclaim from contemporary music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews and ratings from mainstream critics, the album received a metascore of 83, based on 21 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim."[6]

Andy Gill of The Independent felt that the album "has less to do, musically, with traditional American hip-hop than it does with a European indie sensibility grounded in krautrock, electropop and avant-rock."[3] Lanre Bakare of The Guardian commented that "[Young Fathers] manage the rare feat of melding pop and politics into a potent mix, and continue a tradition – begun by the likes of Smith & Mighty, Tricky and Massive Attack – of reinterpreting pop, hip-hop and soul through the filter of black British life."[9] Writing for Exclaim!, Kyle Mullin called the record "a perfect storm of influences and talent."[15]

Jamie Milton of DIY gave the album 4 stars out of 5, calling it "Young Fathers' most fearless release yet."[16]

Pitchfork gave it a 6.8.[17]
