The album features guest appearances from JID, Charlie Wilson, Young Thug, Slowthai, Vince Staples, Summer Walker, and Injury Reserve.

[6] Sheldon Pearce of Pitchfork highlighted Aminé's shift in style from his previous album, stating "he's more pragmatic, suddenly concerned with crafting a sustainable legacy, and this new attitude produces the best music of his career".

[15] Candace McDuffie of Paste said, "Although this light-hearted nature dominated Good for You in its entirety, Limbo takes more of an existential turn as Aminé earnestly wonders what comes after that initial rush of success".

[10] Steve "Flash" Juon of RapReviews said, "Limbo shows that if he takes his time and works with the right people, the results can be drastically improved.

[9] Writing for Entertainment Weekly, Eli Enis praised the first six tracks before noting "the record falls off during its latter half as the melodic R&B cuts begin to blend together".
