Kiel Hauck of PopMatters gave the album 6 stars out of 10, saying, "Golden Era, like so much of Del's previous work, captures the feeling of a simpler yet better time in hip-hop, before the glitz and glamour, the high dollar music videos, and the painful overuse of that detestable thing called Auto-Tune."[8] He added: "Regardless of if you were hoping for more from Del in his latest offering, Golden Era is a good summer album and a reminder of all of the things you loved about hip-hop growing up."[8]
