In a mixed review, Daniel Spielberger of *HipHopDX* gave the album a 2.9 out of 5, stating "For some artists, being self-aware is humanizing. While for others, it can just illuminate their insecurities. Logic's fifth studio album *Confessions of a Dangerous Mind* is an unfortunate example of the latter scenario." Many fans have criticized the album for its lack of substance, including Charlamagne tha God during a guest appearance on Lisa Ramos and Camille Fishel's *Pizza and Chill* podcast. Logic called out Charlamagne as "shameless" in the album's track "Clickbait."
