Reception
Slant Face Killah received a mixed review from Gabriel Bras Nevares, stating "For the most part, Slant Face Killah is still a very worthy album in Conway's catalog; it's just in some small but important Griselda details that it falters. When there's so much quality to go through, it makes these crevices look like caverns".[6]
