David O'Donnell, writing for BBC Music, highlighted the group's super-group status and noted the album's blend of live soul instrumentation with hip-hop production techniques, involving polished fusion of styles and high-profile collaborations.[8] Colin Ross of PopMatters described Lucy Pearl as a collaborative R&B/hip-hop supergroup effort built on "unexpected collaborations" and "laid back hip-hop," showing the artists moving beyond their former group.[9]
