Adeayo Adebiyi of Pulse Nigeria described Morayo as a continuation of the lush R&B fusion the artist has embraced since Made in Lagos (2020), with stellar production that doesn’t demand much of him.

"[8] Mankaprr Conteh of Rolling Stone described the album as a "lovely evolution" of the "Made in Lagos" sound, blending lush production with cultural authenticity and heartfelt dedication to his late mother.

[5] Damilare Abioye of Nigerian Entertainment Today praised Morayo as a deeply personal and culturally rooted album, blending Afropop and R&B influences with Yoruba percussive elements to honor Wizkid's late mother.

Abioye described the project as “a love letter to his mother, his legacy, and his roots,” highlighting tracks like "Karamo," "Kese (Dance)," and "Pray" for their emotional and rhythmic depth.

[9] Boluwatife Adeyemi of the Native praised its lush production and familiar themes of love, lust, and excess, though it noted a lack of innovation in Wizkid's recent work.

The album's highlights include the cinematic "A Million Blessings," where Wizkid reflects on his journey, and collaborative tracks like "Piece of My Heart" with Brent Faiyaz and "Bad For You" with Jazmine Sullivan.

While it didn't fully explore its potential as a tribute to Wizkid’s late mother, Adeyemi commended its intricate sound, giving it an 8.3/10, stating, “On Morayo, Wizkid seems to find solace in what works.”[6] Ademoye Afeez of NotJustOk highlighted the album as a showcase of his artistic evolution, blending his signature soulful and romantic sounds with vibrant Afrobeats energy.

While the project offers standout tracks like "Kese" and "Piece of My Heart," and reflects on his career milestones, it fell short of thematic cohesion and didn’t reach the groundbreaking heights of Made in Lagos.
