Arusa Qureshi of The Quietus wrote that Shabazz Palaces' "sound is pushed and pulled in multiple directions at once, without once neglecting the interplanetary funk mutant hip hop sound they have always excelled in" and called the album a "thesis on taking risks, with Butler inviting in a host of collaborators, all offering something different and, in some cases, a step away from the characteristic Shabazz Palaces sound".[2] Paul Attard of Slant Magazine described Robed in Rareness as "the group's least substantial release to date" and felt that it "continues in th[e] stripped-down mode" of their prior two albums "and yet, it somehow still includes meandering material like the barely thought-out 'Scarface Mace' and the bland 'Hustle Crossers'". Attard concluded that the group are "running on fumes".[1]
