Critical reception

Matt Rinaldi of AllMusic gave the album a favorable review, describing it as "another elevated LP for listeners who prefer their rap hard-boiled and brainy as hell."[1] Jake Paine of HipHopDX gave the album a 3.0 out of 5, saying: "Regardless of seasoned or newcomer production personnel, Deuces Wild bares a consistency that feels as if one musical mind made it."[4] Ben Westhoff of Pitchfork gave the album an 8.0 out of 10, saying, "what's most impressive about the work is that it succeeds without succumbing to the trends of hipster rap, emo rap, or radio rap."[5]

XXL placed it at number 6 on the "Top 10 Rap Albums of 2008" list.[7]
