Thomas Stremfel of Spectrum Culture commented that "Different Type Time's crowning achievement is sonic cohesion, creating a world of familiar sounds, where all songs merge together like neighboring but distinct characters on a thriving city block in the summer."[9] Andrew Sacher of BrooklynVegan wrote, "Different Type Time finds Cav doing what he does best, and if you're new to him, this is a fine introduction."[5] He added, "The lush production and in-the-pocket bars connect the dots between rap's mid '90s era and its current underground."[5] John Morrison of Okayplayer praised "its hazy production, winding, serpentine rhyme patterns and slick lines."[10] Son Raw of The Fader stated, "A welcome addition to hip-hop's creative vanguard, Different Type Time proves that Cavalier's moment is now."[11]
