Rolling Stone
The Atlanta rapper stays loyal to his braggadocious, hunger-inducing script on a project that vaults him up hip-hop’s “best ear for beats” board.

AllMusic

Gumbo isn't worlds removed from any of Young Nudy's previous projects, but it attempts a variety of styles he hasn't focused on before, further expanding an already vast range and continuing a streak of releases that refuse to limit themselves to any one lane.

The varied sounds begin to blend with the flavors next to it, and like the best Nudy projects, Gumbo highlights the contrasting ingredients while creating a flavor all its own.

One of the better trap albums of the decade. I haven’t heard a Nudy project before this, but I really fuck with his flows and how well paced they are. Great personality filled voice to match. The production is more upbeat and vibe worthy, and damn near all these beats knock. Really enjoyable and fun, and I don’t feel the urge to press the skip button very often. Just a bangin', consistent set of trap bops. If this is a food themed album like the cover suggests, Nudy sure did cook up ... read more

It's not bad, but it's just not my vibe. I did like the instrumentals, but I couldn't get into Nudy's flows. I could see why it's rated as high for some people as it is.
