[4] Aaron McKrell of HipHopDX found "musically, Deeply Rooted is low-key, superbly playing to Scarface's strengths.

Piano loops and thick drums draw in the listener while allowing Scarface to take center stage on several tracks, providing the album with a cohesive feel without sounding repetitive".

concluded: "although Deeply Rooted may not hold up to previous albums in the grand scheme of his discography, the veteran once again planted seeds for his legacy to grow".
