Pat Levy of Consequence of Sound gave the album a grade of B, saying, "There are lyrics on this album that would make Prince or R. Kelly blush, but just moments later, there are lyrics that would make Leonard Cohen shed a tear."[6] Zoe Camp of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.3 out of 10, commenting that "the rapper constructs his boldest collection yet, grounded in improved production and his characteristic schoolboy wit."[7] Nathan Stevens of PopMatters gave the album 6 stars out of 10, stating, "It wouldn't be surprising if this becomes a crossover hit."[2]

On May 9, 2014, Brandon Soderberg of Spin included "Cold Tears" on the "Rap Songs of the Week" list.[8]

Gary Suarez of The Quietus named Heavy Hearted in Doldrums the 15th best hip hop album of 2014.[9] Drew Millard of Vice named it the 8th best album of the year.[10]
