A-F-R-O POLO received positive reviews from music critics.[2]

Vibe magazine wrote "A-F-R-O sounds off with takes his intermediate rhyming skills to a whole new level over Polo’s piano minor chords, distorted vocals, and hard drums." Acclaim magazine said of the song Joe Jackson, "This is easily the best song on the EP, with a laid-back tempo that gives dude room to breathe."

Subjective Sounds wrote "From a sonic perspective, A-F-R-O POLO is magnificent with a soundstage that grows as you increase the volume and doesn’t distort. The separation between elements is also superb.... A-F-R-O POLO is incredibly dynamic".
