Thandie Sibanda of Clash wrote, "We can celebrate production credits across Nudy's discography and 'Gumbo' is no exception. While it may not be the East Atlanta rapper's best, it still stands as a solid successor to EA Monster".[1] Andre Gee stated the album "excels musically based on Coupe's most impressive attribute: his ability to create melodic interplay between disparate textures" and added that Young Nudy "could have used the album to show a bit more of who Nudy from Eastside Atlanta is, as he does during revelatory moments on 'Fish & Chips' and 'Portabella.' But overall Gumbo is another strong offering from an artist who has mastered his craft, and is just fine sticking with it."[7] Peter A. Berry of HipHopDX wrote, "Checking in at 13 tracks, the project distills Nudy's best qualities into a tidy package, and everything from its artwork to its beat selections and his deliveries on each song feels hyper-meticulous, yet loose enough so it doesn't feel rigid."[2]
