Candace McDuffie of Paste said, "Although this light-hearted nature dominated Good for You in its entirety, Limbo takes more of an existential turn as Aminé earnestly wonders what comes after that initial rush of success". The album proves that he can keep pace with his contemporaries while drawing on the history of the genre in ways many of today's innovators are unconcerned with engaging". Writing for Slant Magazine, Charles Lyons-Burt praised Aminé's performance and wrote "In melding traditional hip-hop form with just the right amount of modern trap verve, Limbo makes the case for Aminé, if not as the next great rapper, then as a pop-rap workhorse. Sheldon Pearce of Pitchfork highlighted Aminé's shift in style from his previous album, stating "he's more pragmatic, suddenly concerned with crafting a sustainable legacy, and this new attitude produces the best music of his career". Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave it 6.7 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus.
