Spin gave the album an "A−" grade, saying "this brainy, brawny crew straddle urban tough, dirty smoove, and indie introspective. It's a tough mix, but Pase Rock and Fat Jon the Ample Soul Physician keep it flowing like happy hour."[4] Del F. Cowie of Exclaim! described Kinkynasti as "a cohesive and intelligently crafted affair that remains loose and carefree enough to retain and reinvigorate hip-hop's celebratory aspects."[2] David Morris of PopMatters said, "What comes out is beautiful, funky, propulsive, and dreamy, but it is also undeniably hip-hop, and anything but soft."[3] Despite Fat Jon's production and the story raps in "Kissy Face" and "The Boostin Jam", Vibe writer David A. Herron found the record to be lackluster with the group delivering unmemorable lyrics and vocal performances on tracks that "sound like one song that goes on for much too long."[6]
