David Jeffries of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 out of 5 stars, calling it "a worthy round-up time capsule that works best when consumed in two EP-sized bites or parted out for mixtapes."[10] Writing for Vice, Robert Christgau summarised it as "seven proven bangers gussied up with five remixes – in short, the obvious shit his base long ago had enough of d/b/a music for normal people seeking a pick-me-up. I suppose we could do without the remixes, but hell, excess is why he's richer than he is famous, and they're certainly not painful."[14] Meanwhile, Colin Fitzgerlad of PopMatters gave the album 2 out of 10 stars, saying, "unlike much of Diplo's work, none of the songs on Random White Dude Be Everywhere are unique or extraordinary in any perceivable way."[13]
