Critical reception
Tuez-Les Tous was met with generally favorable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 83.[6] The 405 reviewer wrote, "it's great when made with the intention to connect to an audience and bring forth the power of all kinds of voices. And you can't put a price on that". Mojo's critic wrote, "Peak-form Cypress Hill producer DJ Muggs unearths his darkest dungeon beats for imposingly confident New Jersey MC Mach-Hommy on a set of vivid, cold-hearted street raps. Meticulous and brutal". Paul A. Thompson of Pitchfork wrote, "So Hommy, whose work is rich with its connection to Haitian social and political history, and who seems to be in conversation with other artists long dead, is daring you to engage with it as craft before anything else, to marvel at the couplets before decoding them. It makes his music feel coolly, entrancingly mercenary".
