Brian Howe of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.0 out of 10, stating that "The Revolution of Yung Havoks is a hip-hop record for diehard hip-hop heads, but it fails to illuminate and render as viscerally as the 90s NYCentric micro-drama rap it emulates."[1] He added, "for those of us without firsthand experience in holding down corners and running blocks, Vordul's debut lacks the narrative excitement and vivid, idiosyncratic detail necessary for our imaginations to fill in the blanks and render it anything more than a passing pleasure."[1] Pedro Hernandez of RapReviews.com gave the album a 6.5 out of 10, writing, "Production is handled by mostly unknown producers, including 6 tracks by a cat named Belief, but the results are solid at worst and in some instances stellar."[2] He added, "Vordul Mega isn't a bad MC by any stretch of the imagination, but he does little to pull away from the pack of rappers flooding today's market."[2]
