I am 100% confident in saying that fans of CuDi will dig this record, as he stays true to himself in all aspects while also hinting at new directions.

AllMusic

It's an entertaining, vibrant, and artistically filling album, so consider it a "presents" effort and enjoy the show.

SPIN

None of the guest actors here distract from Cudi's signature self-mythologizing and inner turmoil. And most of the time, it's his inner turmoil that beckons you in, rather than merely pushing you out.

70
HipHopDX

Indicud is an ambitious project that Kid Cudi took a blind shot at, and while by no means does he completely exemplify his immortal identity, he certainly makes a compelling case nonetheless.

Exclaim!

Indicud won't work for everyone, but if you're a Cudi fan, this album finds him sounding better than he has in some time.

A.V. Club

In spite of its brighter outlook, though, Indicud is still a Kid Cudi record, and like its predecessors, it’s a long, unhurried listen, paced like drifting fog.

60
PopMatters

At it’s best, Indicud delivers catchy, meaningful tunes with a cinematic quality in the way that they’re delivered. However, the album isn’t able to consistently hold this level of gratification over its entire course. 

60
NME

The luscious soundscapes he used to rap over are gone, and the record sounds like a college project put together by a stoned teenager intrigued by industrial noises

60
XXL

Indicud is an at-times very good album, but it’s certainly no 2001. This isn’t because of a lack of ingenuity or creativity on Cudi’s part, but rather because the decision to act as the project’s sole producer didn’t do him any favors.

NOW Magazine
The best rhymes come courtesy of Kendrick Lamar on Solo Dolo, Pt. II, and the worst are from Too Short on the album’s weakest link, Girls.
50
Consequence of Sound

This record just proves that Kid Cudi has a lot of sorting to do, and continuing down the same old path simply won’t cut it in the long-run.

Rolling Stone
Cudi’s pitchy-dawg voice remains his own worst enemy.
40
Pitchfork

He looks for war in Indicud; he can't find anyone to fight, but he rages anyway.

Q Magazine
Only Haim's contribution to Red Eye enlivens the tedium.

THIS MIGHT JUST BE A PERSONAL FAVE BUT DONT CRUCIFY ME JUST YET!!!!

I feel like this is easily Cudi’s most INTRIGUING album. I felt like MOTM was solid but very generic after a while, and the simplistic poppy beats felt like sugar overload sometimes. But here, try or fail, Cudi goes for a more spacious (no pun intended) slow burner filled with exciting ideas even if many of them demand more attention and better execution.

Just Whst I Am is now my favorite song of his, from the powerful ... read more

Kid Cudi makes an album with a much more intense sound than his previous albums. It even gets a little experimental with some of these weird beats we see Cudi on. It’s pretty great despite being inconsistent, especially in the second half.

Best Tracks: Unfuckwittable, Just What I Am, Young Lady, King Wizard, Immortal, Solo Dolo Pt. II, Red Eye, Brothers, Cold Blooded

Worst Track: Beez
