[3] Big Gucci Sosa received mixed reviews from critics.

David Drake of Pitchfork described the mixtape as "parachuting Keef verses into the one-dimensional pulp-gangster formula that’s been Gucci Mane’s collaborative stock in trade since 2011," but praised the mixtape's production and Chief Keef's rapping.

[4] Matt Moretti of Buffablog described Gucci Mane as "the trap legend," but called Chief Keef's rapping "less than perfect," rating the album a B.
