Murray.[2]
The album was generally well received. HipHopDX gave the album 4/5 stars, writing that the album "a collection of stories and anecdotes from Skyzoo’s youth, with shout outs to — and from — friends and family."[5]XXL reviewed the album positively, writing that "as with every offering from Skyzoo, his lyricism and imagery helps to bring the listener into his stories, this time [with Music For My Friends] speaking from the perspective of a 13-year-old kid trying to find his place in the world… From the sequencing of the album to the production, Skyzoo’s new LP highlights his ability to create conceptual albums that offer a breath of fresh air in today’s musical climate."[1] In July 2015, the staff at XXL included the album on their list of the "30 Best Hip-Hop Albums of 2015 (So Far)."[7]
