Critical reception
Top Shotta was met with mostly favorable reviews from music critics. NME awarded the album three out of five stars, criticizing the first half of the album for its lack of cohesiveness, but praising the album's second half for its more reflective subject matter, saying "He's only 18, and yet the rap protege here proves himself with a collection that balances his braggadocio and vulnerability to thrilling effect." Paste magazine gave the album a score of 7/10, saying "The young rapper's major-label debut, Top Shotta, is at its best when he's open, honest and emotional."
