*The Independent*'s Roisin O'Connor gave *Call Me If You Get Lost* five out of five stars, and said it feels like "the apotheosis of all Tyler's past works." They also noted the seamless transitions between tracks. *Clash* praised Tyler's "refusal to be caged in by any set sound or genre" and noted tracks "Sweet / I Thought You Wanted to Dance" and "Wilshire" as standouts. David Smyth of the *Evening Standard* mentioned the album's varied "global" sound and said, "Tyler's music is as fascinating as ever." Alexis Petridis of *The Guardian* wrote that bursts of "kaleidoscopic synth-pop, soul balladry and jazz sweep you", saying that the album could "take a lot of time to fully unpick, but clearly isn't going to diminish in quality if you do so." Ryan Rosenberger of *The Line of Best Fit* said, "Time will tell exactly where this album lands in Tyler, The Creator's discography, but *Call Me If You Get Lost* is yet another memorable record from Wolf Haley himself, one that only further cements his status as one of the best artists of his generation". Luke Morgan Britton from *NME* enjoyed the album, saying, "The iconoclast confronts cancel culture, his own controversial past and the notion of personal growth on a kaleidoscopic record that reaffirms his greatness". *Pitchfork* critic Paul A. Thompson said, "It grants him the freedom to play with tone, to write personally or use his gravelly voice as texture, to treat the harshest raps and the most delicate hooks as mad experiments gone wrong". Wesley McLean of *Exclaim!* said, "Tyler has delivered a project that yet again pushes the boundaries of his music while simultaneously being a culmination of everything that he's done so far. It's yet another impressive outing for an artist whose reign doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon".

Sofie Lindevall of *Gigwise* summarized: "With his sixth studio album *Call Me If You Get Lost*, Tyler turns everything up-side-down again, resulting in one of the most dynamic and interesting entries in his discography so far." A positive review by Craig Jenkins of *Vulture* concluded with telling the reader to "Look between the many detailed descriptions of Rolls-Royce interiors, beautiful boats, and international travel, beyond the over half-a-dozen mentions of passports," and that they'll find, "A love story". *Paste* magazine's Matt Mitchell gave *Call Me If You Get Lost* an 8.7 out of 10, and said the crowning achievement of the record is "the way it sharply reminds every listener that the early entries in an artist's discography are not parts of their past meant to be forgotten". Reviewing the album for AllMusic, David Crone claimed that, "Tyler's music has always been a patchwork of ever-increasing palettes, and *CMIYGL* is his most complex to date." *Rolling Stone*'s Jeff Ihaza summarised Tyler's effort as a maturing into "some of the more compelling rap music being made today", calling *Call Me If You Get Lost* Tyler's best work to date.
