"[3] Writing for Clash, Emma Harrison wrote that it "is more akin to a sprint as opposed to a marathon on the virtual virtuosos' eighth studio album ... despite its diminutive length, Cracker Island packs one hell of a punch and spans genres far and wide.

"[23] In DIY, Lisa Wright declared the album "very much a set piece that prioritises concept and narrative, resulting in one of Gorillaz's most restrained, contemplative releases yet - one that will perhaps appeal to fans of Albarn's solo work more than devotees of his monkeys' more genre-hopping forays.

In Pitchfork, Ben Cardew said Cracker Island "walks a very thin line between playing to the band's strengths and relying too heavily on old tricks".

[27] In Slant Magazine, Paul Attard wrote: "When left to his own devices (and stripped of his usual slew of Tumblr-approved guests), Albarn engineers some of Cracker Island's most stand-out material, albeit ones that still vary greatly in quality.
