According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Lady Parts received "generally favorable reviews" based on a weighted average score of 74 out of 100 from 7 critic scores.[6]
Sheldon Pearce of Pitchfork stated, "Even without great chemistry, they make a handful of entertaining songs that thrive on sheer amusement."[17] He added, "Despite its faults and flaws, it mostly scans as two talented musicians just having a good time."[17] Paul Simpson of AllMusic commented that "Everything here is exquisitely detailed and busy, but not necessarily in a hurry to get anywhere."[14] He described Lady Parts as "a fun, slightly chaotic album that captures the creative spirit of golden age rap, updated for the damaged attention span of a generation raised on social media."[14] Gary Suarez of The Quietus stated, "The fractured fairy tales of their full-length debut Lady Parts will assuredly satisfy both those old Prefuse 73 fans and newer listeners who enjoy a sensible amount of weirdness in their mixes."[1]
