Club stated: "with his gloriously grown-up solo debut, one of the smartest, most incisive lyricists alive proves it's possible to grow older in hip-hop while retaining your dignity".

[5] William Ketchum III of HipHopDX praised the album, saying: "with its substantial subject matter, solid production and tightly-woven sequencing, Charity Starts At Home does exactly what a solo debut should: showcases the artist's skill set and personality all at once".

[2] Adam Fleischer of XXL said: "undeniably, Charity Starts At Home reminds why the rapper has been a darling of the underground for years".
