Death Race for Love was met with a generally lukewarm reception. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received an average score of 61, based on 11 reviews.[14] Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave it 5.4 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus.[13]

Reviewers generally praised the album's sound and blend of genres. Thomas Hobbs of NME gave a positive 4 star (out of 5) review, stating "Juice Wrld is far less indulgent than XXX[Tentacion], not getting lost in the idea that he's a messianic creative. This will be the moment that solidifies his status as one of rap's most exciting new stars".[19] Scott Glaysher of HipHopDX gave the album a 3.9 out of 5, and argued that; "Genre-blending albums (no matter how commonplace they might be these days) are not easy to pull off and for that, Juice Wrld should be given credit. From the seemingly sincere lyrics to the equally candid delivery, Juice truly goes with his gut in whichever way (rap, sing, hum, sob)".[17]

Most reviewers, however, took issues with the album's length and what was seen as poor writing, even in positive reviews. Pitchfork's Alphonse Pierre wrote, "Fifty percent of the lyrics are bad ("Back on my bullshit, devil emoji") and the other 50 percent are also bad, but then they get stuck in your head and ultimately turn good ("Tell me your darkest secret shit you wouldn't even tell Jesus"). ... Death Race For Love feels like the real Juice Wrld, wearing his influences and heart on his sleeve, putting his ups and downs into the music in real time", and gave the album a 6.8 out of 10.[20] Danny Schwartz of Rolling Stone said in his 3 and half star (out of 5) review that, "Death Race succeeded in its most fundamental mission, which was to prove that "Lucid Dreams" was not a fluke. Songs like "Fast", "Ring, Ring", "Hear Me Calling" strike a dynamic balance of raw charisma and profound anxiety... While his melodrama tends to grow old over the course of a 22-track, 72-minute album, it is captivating in small doses".[23] The Guardian's Kate Hutchinson stated: "It's slim on features (only Young Thug, Clever and Brent Faiyaz) but big on misanthropic head-nodders that put Juice's Fall Out Boy-style whine or raspy flow to the fore: he is more versatile than his peers and also more gifted... But ultimately, the suicide references of songs such as Empty and casual misogyny in the tauntingly violent Syphilis leave an uncomfortable taste.", and gave the album 3 stars out of 5.[3] Steve "Flash" Juon of RapReviews said at the end of his 6.5 out of 10 review that while he enjoyed the "catchy tunes" at times, that it was "hard to call them rap songs and even harder to ignore the subtext that drugs are both the cause of and solution to his problems. Irresponsible abuse of powerful narcotics or prescription medications solves nothing. It's easy to pretend Juice WRLD is just a fiction [sic] character Jarad Higgins portrays for the sake of music, but too many of his peers have died over the years for me to safely assume it's all just a gimmick."[22]

PopMatters critic Mike Schiller said, "The ratio of bangers to duds...is not great, and Death Race for Love feels an awful lot like an unabridged teenage diary; while the occasional clever turn of phrase and moment of profundity is sure to bubble up, most of it is simple self-indulgence, an onslaught of pure emotion whose sincerity is never in question, but all of which starts to blur together after a mere few pages or songs".[21] Fred Thomas was also critical of the album in the review for AllMusic, stating "There's no shortage of highlights, but the lack of editing or focus means every song goes on a little too long and leads to another one that struggles to connect stylistically or emotionally".[15]

lukewarm reception At Metacritic which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications the album received an average score of 61 based on 11 reviews 14 Aggregator AnyDecentMusic gave it 5 4 out of 10 based on their assessment of the critical consensus 13 Reviewers generally praised the album s sound and blend of genres Thomas Hobbs of NME gave a positive 4 star out of 5 review stating Juice Wrld is far less indulgent than XXX Tentacion not getting lost in the idea that he s a messianic creative This will be the moment that solidifies his status as one of rap s most exciting new stars 19 Scott Glaysher of HipHopDX gave the album a 3 9 out of 5 and argued that Genre blending albums no matter how commonplace they might be these days are not easy to pull off and for that Juice Wrld should be given credit From the seemingly sincere lyrics to the equally candid delivery Juice truly goes with his gut in whichever way rap sing hum sob 17 Most reviewers however took issues with the album s length and what was seen as poor writing even in positive reviews Pitchfork s Alphonse Pierre wrote Fifty percent of the lyrics are bad Back on my bullshit devil emoji and the other 50 percent are also bad but then they get stuck in your head and ultimately turn good Tell me your darkest secret shit you wouldn t even tell Jesus Death Race For Love feels like the real Juice Wrld wearing his influences and heart on his sleeve putting his ups and downs into the music in real time and gave the album a 6 8 out of 10 20 Danny Schwartz of Rolling Stone said in his 3 and half star out of 5 review that Death Race succeeded in its most fundamental mission which was to prove that Lucid Dreams was not a fluke Songs like Fast Ring Ring Hear Me Calling strike a dynamic balance of raw charisma and profound anxiety While his melodrama tends to grow old over the course of a 22 track 72 minute album it is captivating in small doses 23 The Guardian s Kate Hutchinson stated It s slim on features only Young Thug Clever and Brent Faiyaz but big on misanthropic head nodders that put Juice s Fall Out Boy style whine or raspy flow to the fore he is more versatile than his peers and also more gifted But ultimately the suicide references of songs such as Empty and casual misogyny in the tauntingly violent Syphilis leave an uncomfortable taste and gave the album 3 stars out of 5 3 Steve Flash Juon of RapReviews said at the end of his 6 5 out of 10 review that while he enjoyed the catchy tunes at times that it was hard to call them rap songs and even harder to ignore the subtext that drugs are both the cause of and solution to his problems Irresponsible abuse of powerful narcotics or prescription medications solves nothing It s easy to pretend Juice WRLD is just a fiction sic character Jarad Higgins portrays for the sake of music but too many of his peers have died over the years for me to safely assume it s all just a gimmick 22 PopMatters critic Mike Schiller said The ratio of bangers to duds is not great and Death Race for Love feels an awful lot like an unabridged teenage diary while the occasional clever turn of phrase and moment of profundity is sure to bubble up most of it is simple self indulgence an onslaught of pure emotion whose sincerity is never in question but all of which starts to blur together after a mere few pages or songs 21 Fred Thomas was also critical of the album in the review for AllMusic stating There s no shortage of highlights but the lack of editing or focus means every song goes on a little too long and leads to another one that struggles to connect stylistically or emotionally 15 Year end lists edit Select year end rankings of Death Race for Love Publication List Rank Ref NME The 50 Best Albums
