Pilot Talk 3 was met with generally favourable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 78 based on four reviews.[1]
Julian Kimble of Pitchfork resumed: "Curren$y may not do "new", but he is very good at what he does: riffing on cars, money, women, weed, and obscure moments from television shows".[5] Michael Madden of Consequence praised the album, writing: "there's virtually nothing not to like about Pilot Talk III. Like other Curren$y releases, it makes up for its lack of revelations with a contagious joyfulness".[3] Kellan Miller of HipHopDX wrote: "while other artists are constantly on the prowl for the latest trend that will keep their names relevant, Spitta never ventures out of his own lane, and yet, his latest material never seems to spoil".[4] B.J. Steiner of Complex stated: "as the third installment of Spitta's aircraft-themed series, Pilot Talk 3 finds the NOLA sky captain delivering a familiar set of luxury rap fairytales upon which he's built a quietly impressive career".[2]
