Whole Lotta Red has received an 85% positive reviews on the site, with one reviewer positively singing the rappers praises.

“LR is great. Not only that, I think its even better than Die Lit,” they begin.

“To put this album in perspective, WLR is its own genre, its ideas are just so loud, bombastic and in a way, creative, especially for Carti.”

“Now, my first and really only gripe with WLR is the fact it can feel long at times. I think the length of each track is great because it makes it very replayable but I think some songs don’t help with that. Songs like Punk Monk & Not Playing are mostly the only tracks I do not return to at all.”

The reviewer addresses a common sentiment abut the album: that it takes a few listens before it becomes enjoyable.
