AllMusic's David Jeffries wrote: "it doesn't matter that Out My Feelings (In My Past) runs 18 tracks long, as Boosie Badazz is on point the whole way through this dark yet empowering album".[2] Homer Johnsen of HipHopDX praised the project saying that it "is ambitious in scale, and contains some of his best work to date. The message and content aren't always constant, but the ebb and flow of the experience enable a strong diversity of sound, and Boosie adapts to the beats like a chameleon with different colors".[3] Paul Thompson of Spin found the album "is not the bright and exalted counterpoint you might expect--it's still grim, but Boosie turns his focus outward".[5] Israel Daramola of Pitchfork wrote that the album "doesn’t have the rawness of In My Feelings, but its production is impeccable where that one was spotty, and it soars when Boosie reminisces on his pre-rap days or makes statements in line with Black Lives Matter about the murders of unarmed black people by cops".[4]
